Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread

What You'll Need

Garlic Butter:

• 1 crusty loaf, preferably sourdough or Vienna
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 100g/3.5oz unsalted butter, softened
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (or other melting cheese)
• 3/8 tsp salt

How to Make It

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
2. Melt butter and then mix in other Garlic Butter ingredients.
3. Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1" diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread (just like you would cut a french stick for garlic bread).
4. Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don't need to be super neat, it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust.
5. Wrap with foil and bake for 15minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty.
6. Serve immediately.
