Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 loaf crusty bread (a rustic type like sourdough or boule)
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the garlic butter:

    • 8 tablespoons salted butter (1 stick)

  2. Stuff with Cheese: Gently stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese between the bread cubes.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and parsley, then cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Brush the Bread: Brush the garlic butter mixture all over the bread, making sure to cover each cube.
  5. Bake: Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with additional parsley and enjoy the warm, gooey pull-apart bread!

Notes

  • You can customize the cheese blend by adding different types like gouda or parmesan.
  • Feel free to add additional herbs or spices to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
