Ingredients

1 sourdough boule (or another firm loaf)

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice bread in a crosshatch pattern without cutting through the bottom crust.
  3. Stir minced garlic into melted butter. Brush into all the slices, pulling bread apart slightly to coat evenly.
  4. Tuck cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the cuts.
  5. Place loaf on foil, wrap, and bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Open foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until outside is crisp and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve warm for best pull-apart texture.

Notes

  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary to the butter for extra flavor.
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy twist.
  • To make ahead, prep and refrigerate unbaked loaf, then bake when ready to serve.
  • Reheat leftovers wrapped in foil at 350ºF for 10 minutes.
