Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of French bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
- Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread.

- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Try using different types of cheese like cheddar or gouda for a unique flavor.
- This recipe is perfect for freezing; wrap the prepared bread tightly and freeze for up to a month. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
