Ingredients

Scale

1 large loaf of French bread
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the bread by cutting the loaf into slices, but don’t cut all the way through the bottom.
Mix the garlic butter: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Brush the loaf: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture between each slice of the bread.
Add cheese and bacon: Stuff the shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon in between the bread slices.
Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Unwrap and broil: Unwrap the loaf and broil for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and serve hot.

Notes

You can substitute the bread with any preferred loaf, such as sourdough or whole wheat, for a unique twist.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic or bacon to suit your taste.
For a crispy crust, you can skip the broil and bake longer.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven.
