  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Step 2: Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut side up on a baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
