🛒 Ingredients
For the Bread:
1 large sourdough or French bread loaf (round or oval)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ tsp salt
For Topping:
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Extra chopped herbs for garnish
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Bread
- Slice the bread crosswise and lengthwise (1-inch grid) without cutting through the bottom (so it stays intact).
2️⃣ Make Garlic Butter
- Mix melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.
3️⃣ Stuff the Bread
- Gently separate the bread slices and stuff cheese between the gaps.
- Drizzle 2/3 of the garlic butter over the bread, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.
4️⃣ Bake
- Wrap the loaf in foil (to prevent burning) and bake at 375°F / 190°C for 15 mins.
- Unwrap, add remaining garlic butter and Parmesan, then bake uncovered for 5–10 mins until golden and bubbly.
5️⃣ Garnish & Serve
- Sprinkle fresh herbs and serve warm with marinara or ranch dip!
