Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of Hawaiian bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the butter, creating a fragrant garlic butter mixture.
- Carefully slice the Hawaiian bread horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously across both cut surfaces of the bread, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic butter layer on both bread halves. Follow by adding grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella for additional flavor and texture.
- Place the prepared bread halves on the lined baking sheet, with the cheese-side facing up. Ensure they are positioned in the center of the baking sheet for even heating.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and starts to turn golden brown and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh herb flavor.
- Slice the bread into individual serving portions and serve warm. Best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is still melted and the bread is crispy.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh garlic and high-quality cheeses. Fresh parsley adds a vibrant touch, so don’t skip it!
- Customize the Cheese: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a unique twist. Just ensure you maintain the mozzarella for that perfect melt.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bread while it bakes. Every oven is different, and you want the cheese to be bubbly and golden without burning.
- Serve Immediately: This garlic bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey and the bread is warm and crispy.
- Pair with Dips: Consider serving it with marinara sauce or a creamy ranch dip for an extra flavor boost that will delight your guests!
