Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 large sourdough bread loaf
  • 1.0 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.0 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4.0 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.0 to taste sea salt
  • 0.0 to taste black pepper
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the sourdough loaf into a checkerboard pattern, making deep cuts about 1-inch apart.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and mix well to combine.
  • Gently pull apart the sections of the bread loaf and drizzle the garlic herb butter mixture generously inside the cuts.
  • Stuff the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the cuts of the bread for even distribution.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the loaf.
  • Wrap the stuffed bread loaf in aluminum foil, seal tightly, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, carefully unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and place on a serving platter. Pull apart the sections of bread and enjoy warm.
