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.

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.
