Cheesy Garlic Bread
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with a rack in the middle.
- In a bowl, mash the butter, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt with a fork until evenly mixed.
- Slice the loaf in half horizontally and spread the garlic butter over both cut sides to the edges.
- Set the halves cut side up on a sheet pan and bake until the edges just start to crisp.
- Take the pan out and scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the bread.
- Bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
- For browned spots, broil, watching closely, until the cheese is golden in places.
- Sprinkle with parsley, let it sit a couple of minutes so the cheese sets, then slice and serve.
