2 loaves (28 oz total) French or Italian bread, sliced in half horizontally

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

12 garlic cloves, finely chopped (or 3 tbsp minced garlic)

4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

½ tsp salt (or to taste)

1 cup finely grated Parmesan

1 tsp dried parsley (for garnish)

Assemble bread: Spread garlic butter mixture over each bread half. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan evenly.

Bake: Place bread halves on the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Broil: Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden, crispy top—watch closely.
