This stuffed Italian bread is an easy way to dress up a plain loaf of bread! Great as an appetizer or as a side dish to grilled steaks. My local grocery sells a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheese that I use.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 loaf Italian bread

  • 12 ounces shredded Italian cheese blend

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine butter, parsley, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl.

  3. Slice loaf on the diagonal, about every 2 inches, starting on top of loaf to the bottom without cutting all the way through. Repeat on the opposite diagonal to create cube-shaped sections still attached to the bottom crust.

  4. Spread butter mixture carefully between bread sections; followed by cheese. Wrap loaf in aluminum foil.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes. Unwrap loaf; continue baking until cheese melted, about 10 minutes more.
