Preparation Steps

  • Combine the garlic cloves, parsley, and olive oil in a small food processor until the garlic breaks down into small pieces.
  • Heat the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. When the butter melts, add the chopped garlic to the butter along with a pinch of salt and allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes, stirring as necessary so the garlic does not brown. Remove from heat.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Using a sharp serrated knife, make 1 inch diagonal cuts across the loaf of bread making sure you don't cut the bread all the way through.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the garlic butter into the cuts of the bread.
  • Stack 3-4 cheese squares and place them in the cuts.
  • Place the garlic bread on a sheet of foil and fold up the sides. Use a second piece to cover the top and allow the bread to bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the top piece of foil and allow the bread to bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese melts completely. Serve warm.
