Equipment

sharp knife
small bowl
Baking dish
Aluminum foil

Ingredients

1 loaf french bread whole-not sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella
4-5 tablespoons melted butter
3-4 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Make large 1” slices diagonally across the entire loaf of bread, but do not cut through to the bottom, stop about ½” from the base of the bread.
Turn the bread the opposite way to create a diamond grid pattern and slice the whole loaf to create 1” cubes that are still connected on the bottom.
Finely dice the garlic and add to the dish of melted butter.
Add the salt and pepper and stir. Chop the parsley into small pieces and add to the butter and mix.
Place the loaf of bread on a large piece of foil and brush the top of the bread with the butter mixture.
Take small amounts of cheese and press into each crevice.
Spoon the remaining butter mix evenly over the top and allow to run down into each section of bread.
Wrap the foil around the loaf and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the bread and fold down the foil to expose the top half of the bread and return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the top turns golden brown.
Remove and serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
