Ingredients:

• 1 large round loaf of bread (sourdough or French bread works well)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Aluminum foil

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Bread:
   • Place the loaf of bread on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across the bread, about 1 inch apart, without cutting all the way through. Rotate the bread and make diagonal cuts in the opposite direction, creating a crosshatch pattern.
3. Make the Garlic Herb Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Stir until well mixed.
4. Stuff the Bread:
   • Carefully pull apart the bread sections and drizzle the garlic herb butter into the cuts, ensuring it reaches deep into the bread.
   • Stuff the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese into the cuts, distributing it evenly throughout the bread.
5. Wrap and Bake:
   • Place the stuffed loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil. Wrap the foil around the bread, leaving the top slightly open to allow the bread to crisp up.
   • Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
6. Unwrap and Brown:
   • After 15-20 minutes, open the foil completely to expose the top of the bread. Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
7. Serve:
   • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
   • Serve warm, pulling apart the bread pieces to enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.

Tips:

• Cheese Variations: Feel free to use a combination of your favorite cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gouda, for different flavor profiles.
• Herb Options: Add other fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives to the garlic butter for additional flavor.
