Ingredients

Basil Cheese Garlic Bread Ingredients

Preparation

Basil Cheese Garlic Bread Directions

1. 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.

2. Prepare the Bread

Slice the Italian bread or baguette in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

3. Spread the Garlic Butter

Evenly spread the basil garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

4. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese generously over the buttered bread.

5. 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.

6. Serve

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
