Description

Ingredients

• 1 crusty loaf, preferably sourdough or Vienna
• ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (or other melting cheese)
• 100g /3.5oz / 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• ¾ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
• Combine butter, garlic and salt in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave. Stir through parsley.
• Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1 diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread).
• Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You dont need to be super neat, its nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust.
• Wrap with foil and bake for 15minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty.
• Serve immediately.
