Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano (if using), and a small pinch of salt. Stir until thoroughly blended into a smooth garlic butter spread.
- Lay the bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture across the surfaces of both bread halves.
Baking
- Generously scatter the mozzarella cheese over the buttered bread, followed by an even layer of Parmesan.
- Transfer the baking tray to the oven and bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
- For a crisp and golden cheese topping, switch the oven setting to broil and toast the bread for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to mix different cheeses for added flavor. For a spicy kick, add a bit of crushed red pepper to the garlic butter. Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
