Ingredients

• 1 Loaf of Round Bread (sourdough or Italian bread works well)
• 1/2 Cup Butter, Melted
• 3-4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
• 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley, Chopped
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil, Chopped
• Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

1. Preheat 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 bread knife, make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart across the top of the bread, without cutting all the way through to the bottom. Turn the bread and make diagonal cuts in the opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern.
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Fill the Bread:
   • Carefully separate the cuts in the bread and drizzle the garlic butter mixture into the crevices, ensuring that it gets evenly distributed. Then, stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the cuts, making sure it’s evenly spread throughout the bread.
5. Wrap and Bake:
   • Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
6. Crisp the Bread:
   • After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden and crispy.
7. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This pull-apart bread is best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven.

Tips and Variations

• Add More Cheese:
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like Gouda, Parmesan, or Fontina for a unique flavor.
• Spice It Up:
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the garlic butter mixture for a spicy kick.
• Herb Variations:
  • Swap out the parsley and basil for other herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives to suit your taste.
