Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium loaf bread, nice and crusty
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella, 4 cheese blend, any that will melt)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (You can substitute garlic powder to taste.)
  • 3/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herb, minced (your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Melt butter and mix with minced garlic, salt and herbs. Set aside.
  3. With a serrated knife, cut bread diagonally into roughly 1 inch diamonds, but make sure to not cut all the way through bread (you want it to still stay together as a loaf).
  4. With your fingers or a knife, separate each crack and drizzle in some garlic butter.
  5. Stuff some cheese into each crack as well.
  6. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake on cookie sheet for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 5 more minutes.
  7. By this point, all the cheese should be melted, and the outside should be nice and crusty. Serve immediately.
