Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Carefully drizzle or brush the garlic butter mixture over the bread, making sure it seeps into the cuts.
  5. Gently pull apart the slices and stuff shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley into the cuts.
Baking

  2. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
Serving
  1. Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving, and watch it disappear!

Notes

Best served warm. For extra flavor, try adding chili flakes or Italian seasoning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
