Scale

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the Italian bread.

Notes
- For a crispier crust, use day-old Italian bread.

- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, or alongside pasta dishes.
