Ingredients:
1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the garlic butter: In a bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, dried parsley, and oregano. Mix until well combined.
Spread the butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on each half of the sliced bread.
Add the cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses generously over the top of the buttered bread.
Bake: Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil (optional): If you prefer a golden, crispy top, broil the garlic bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Slice and serve warm.
Enjoy your perfectly cheesy baked garlic bread as a side or snack!
