Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large crusty sourdough or artisan loaf, about 450 to 500 grams
- ½ cup unsalted butter, 113 grams, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, 170 grams, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, 113 grams, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius, 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the loaf in a crosshatch pattern without slicing all the way through. Gently open the cuts and drizzle the garlic butter mixture into each crevice. Stuff shredded mozzarella and cheddar evenly into the cuts. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
- Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Let the bread rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and pull apart to enjoy.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and texture.
- Do not cut all the way through the loaf to keep it intact.
- Cover with foil during the first part of baking to prevent over browning.
- Reheat leftovers wrapped in foil at 160 degrees Celsius, 325 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
