Cheesy Garlic Bread

My family loves bread. Especially Italian Bread. But one can only eat so much Italian Bread before getting sick of the same old thing, day in and day out. So I decided to 'jazz' up our Italian Bread one night and it was a huge hit with my family. How easy it is to make is also a big plus in my book!

First you need your ingredients. Aluminum Foil, Mozzarella Cheese, Garlic Powder, 1 stick of Unsalted Butter, Dried Parsley Flakes, Salt, Pepper and a loaf of Italian Bread. See I told you this was going to be easy!



Place a piece of aluminum foil under the bread a little bigger then the loaf so you can wrap it up to bake when your done. Lay your bread on the aluminum foil and slice it in half lengthwise

In a small pan, heat your butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley until butter is completely melted. Spoon or brush onto both sides of bread

Place your shredded Mozzarella on one side of your sliced bread. I shred my own Mozzarella Cheese. But feel free to use preshreded Cheese if you prefer. I used 16 oz of shredded Mozzarella here. But you can use as much or as little as you want

Place top half of bread on bottom half with the cheese

Cover tightly with aluminum foil

Bake at 325 (F) degrees for 20 minutes to 25 minutes. It is done when cheese is all nice and melted

Slice and serve warm.
