Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 bulbs fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup gouda or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the top off a whole bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35-40 minutes until golden.
- Let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze out the cloves into a bowl and mash.
- Soften the butter, then mix in the mashed garlic, Italian seasoning, honey, parsley, and salt to create compound butter.

- Top with gouda or cheddar cheese, and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges are browned.

- Let cool briefly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Stay close to the oven while broiling to prevent burning, and feel free to experiment with different cheeses according to your taste.
