Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Aluminum Foil
- Bread knife
Ingredients
- 1 dense loaf of bread like sourdough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time
- Whisk together minced garlic, salt, chopped parsley and melted butter until well combined
- Cut the bread diagonally, about 1 inch apart, creating diamonds in the bread. Be sure not to cut all the way through the crust.
- Open the bread cuts with your fingers or a knife and drizzle the butter mixture between each slice of bread.
- Stuff the mozzarella cheese into the slices, as well. The effort is worth it, promise!
- Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and place the loaf on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then unwrap the bread loaf and finish baking for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is slightly browned and the bread is crusty.
- Serve warm
Notes
- This loaf can be made ahead and wrapped in foil for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. To cook, thaw and follow heating instructions.
- You can also cook it first, then refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Then reheat in the oven on 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Or microwave the bread on high for 2 minutes (always remove the foil first before microwaving) to re-melt the cheese.
- Pair this with spaghetti and a salad to make a basic meal feel gourmet!
