In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.

Spread Garlic Butter
Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

Add Toppings
Layer the tomato slices on top of the garlic butter, followed by an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
6
Bake
Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
