Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian or ciabatta bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced (or to taste)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese I used sharp, but any will work
  • 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise and place it cut side up on a baking sheet. 
  • In a small bowl combine the softened butter, olive oil, and garlic. Spread the mixture evenly over the cut side of the bread.

  • Bake for 5 minutes at 400ºF. 
  • Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the bread and return it to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is starting to bubble and develop brown spots.

  • Slice and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley and flake salt, if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

Tips & Notes

  • You can use any combination of cheese you like— gouda, gruyere, fontina, or pepper jack would all be delicious substitutions.
  • If you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
