Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 loaf round sourdough bread
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp dried chives
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F . Line a baking sheet with foil, large enough that when you pull up the sides you can wrap the bread loaf in the foil.
  • Using a sharp bread knife, make deep, long slices thru the bread about 1-1/2 inches apart all across the bread, taking care not to cut thru to the bottom. Then make the same cuts going in the opposite direction. The cuts will look like a grid.
  • Place the butter, chives and garlic in a microwave safe dish. Microwave until the butter is just melted. Using a spoon, drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the bread and in between cuts.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cheeses together. Stuff the mixture into all of the bread cuts, leaving some cheese to poke out on the top.
  • Wrap the loaf in the foil on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and open the foil packet to expose the bread. Turn the oven broiler on high and broil until the top of the bread is light brown and the cheese is bubbling. Serve hot.
