Cheesy Garlic Bread

Yields 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup romano cheese, thickly grated
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Take loaf of Italian bread and cut in half lengthwise so you have two, long halves.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together butter and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, mix together the two cheeses.
  4. Spread garlic butter over both halves of bread, place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  5. Remove loaf from oven, sprinkle on mixed cheeses and return to oven. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes, sprinkle with parsley, slice and serve immediately.
