Pull apart cheesy garlic bread

Yield: Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:

• 1 large round crusty Italian or sourdough loaf
• ¼ cup (60 ml) butter
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried parsley
• 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) salt
• 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) pepper
• 2 cups (480 ml) grated mozzarella
• ½ cup (120 ml) grated parmesan

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F (205 C).

• Using a serrated knife, cut a cross-hatch across the top of the loaf, leaving the bottom of the loaf connected.

• Add butter, olive oil, garlic, dried parsley, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and microwave for 45 seconds to melt. Drizzle butter mixture over top of loaf of bread, making sure to get in between all the slices.

• Mix grated mozzarella and parmesan together. Tuck the shredded cheese equally along the incisions and over top of the loaf. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and bread is golden brown.
