Basil Cheese Garlic Bread Ingredients
Method
Basil Cheese Garlic Bread Directions
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Prepare the Bread
Slice the Italian bread or baguette in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese generously over the buttered bread.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
