Description

Ingredients

• 1 oval loaf of hard crusted dense bread
• 1 stick of butter
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon crushed rosemary
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1½ tablespoon pesto
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F
• In a medium pan, sauté garlic in butter for 2 minutes over medium heat.
• Add oregano, rosemary, and parsley, stir and remove from heat to cool slightly.
• Cut the bread on the diagonal into 1 inch diamonds. Do not cut all the way through the bread, just to the bottom of the loaf so it will hold together.
• Stir in peso to butter herb mixture.
• Pry open each area of the bread spooning butter mixture through out each slice of the bread. Continue until all butter is used.
• Stuff shredded cheese into each crack of the bread.
• Place the loaf in aluminum foil closing tightly creating a tent on the top so the melted cheese does not stick. I found it was easier to spray the foil with Pam so it does not stick after it is melted.
• Bake in oven for 15 minutes, until cheese is mostly melted.
• Unwrap foil and bake 5 more minutes
• Serve immediately with plenty of napkins.
