Ingredients

  • 1 large loaf French Bread Loaf
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 6 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 0.5 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes(optional)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the baking sheet.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of both bread halves, reaching all the way to the edges.

  5. 5

    In a separate bowl, toss the mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar cheeses together to mix.

  6. 6

    Generously top the buttered bread with the mixed cheeses and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

  7. 7

    Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Turn the broiler on for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve golden-brown spots on the cheese, then slice and serve immediately.
