Easy Cheesy Homemade Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt (This is an estimate. I just sprinkle evenly over both sides of the loaf)
• 1 loaf Italian bread (halved lengthwise)
• Couple handfuls mozzarella cheese
• Chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat broiler to high. Adjust a rack to be about 10-12 inches from the broiler.

2. 2

   In a small bowl combine butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Microwave until butter is melted, about 45 seconds.

3. 3

   Place bread, cut side up, on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until bread starts to brown. It goes from golden to black in seconds (it seems) so keep a close eye on it.

4. 4

   Remove the bread from the oven and brush liberally with butter mixture. Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt. Place mozzarella cheese on top. Place back under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes or until mozzarella is melted, browned, and bubbly. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped herbs, and serve.
