• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for a flavor blend)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

2. Prepare the garlic butter
   • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Spread the butter

4. Add the cheese
   • Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella, cheddar (if using), and Parmesan cheese on top of the buttered side of each slice.
5. Bake or broil
   • If baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
   • If broiling: Place the tray under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
