Ingredients
  

1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: Red pepper flakes for added spice

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Slice the Bread: Cut the loaf of bread into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick). You can slice it horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference.

        Spread the Garlic Butter: Use a butter knife or a spatula to generously spread the garlic butter mixture on each slice of bread, ensuring all areas are covered.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle a mix of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each buttered slice. Get creative! You can add more cheese if you love it extra cheesy.

            Bake: Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted and started to bubble.

              Optional Spicing: If you prefer a little heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top before serving.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your cheesy garlic bread bites warm, perfect for dipping into marinara sauce or enjoying on their own!
