Ingredients
Bread & Butter Base
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread, cut in half
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Flavor Enhancers
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Cheesy Topping
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French or Italian bread halves.
- Top the bread with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Press the cheese lightly into the bread.
- Bake the bread for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread is lightly toasted.
- Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to avoid burning. The cheese should turn golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the bread into serving-sized pieces and serve warm.
