Extra Cheesy Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (softened)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (+ extra for serving)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Pepper (to taste)
• 1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Take the butter out of the fridge at least an hour prior to starting the recipe.

2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.

3. 3

   Add the butter, garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt & pepper to a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until well combined.

4. 4

   Cut the loaf of bread in half horizontally (try to get the two halves as equally sized as possible) and place each piece cut-side up on a baking sheet.

5. 5

   Spread the butter over the cut side of each half of bread, then top each half with the parmesan, followed by the mozzarella.

6. 6

   Bake for 12 minutes, then broil for a few minutes (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn!) until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

7. 7

   Cut into slices and serve immediately with extra parsley sprinkled over top.
