How to Make Homemade Cheesy Stuffed Garlic Bread
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Melt the butter over medium heat and add the salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and parsley. Add olive oil and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Slice the bread diagonally in 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices, not cutting all the way through the bottom. Repeat until the loaf is sliced diagonally in two directions.
Mix the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Gently opening the cracks of the bread, insert the cheese into the slices.
Brush with the melted garlic herb butter and wrap with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes until heated through.
Serve with marinara, or as a side with your favorite soup, salad, stew or Italian-inspired meal.
