Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter

¼ cup garlic confit (soft garlic cloves, no oil)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

½ teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1–2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For Assembly

1 loaf sourdough bread

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Garlic Butter

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic confit, softened butter, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the sourdough loaf in half lengthwise.

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over both halves of the bread.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic butter.

Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 4: Bake

Place the bread on a baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

For a golden, crispy top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with extra chopped parsley and a light pinch of chili flakes.

Slice and serve warm.

Recipe Notes

• Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor.
• Adjust the chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
• Serve alongside soups, pasta dishes, or salads.
• Best enjoyed fresh while the cheese is hot and gooey.
