Ingredients
- 1 large ciabatta loaf
- 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Fresh cracked pepper to taste
Make the Cheesy Bread
First, get your oven preheating to 375F.
In a small saucepan, melt the salted butter with the minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and a few cracks of fresh pepper over low heat. This should only take a couple of minutes.
Slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet.
Evenly brush both cut sides of the bread with the garlic butter mixture until it’s all used up.
Bake for ~10-12 minutes, or until the top starts to feel a little firm.
Pull the bread out of the oven and turn on the broiler.
Evenly sprinkle the provolone and Parmesan cheeses over the top of the bread, making sure to cover it completely so the edges don’t burn.
Place the bread back in the oven on the middle rack and broil for ~2 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on it – you’re just looking for the cheese to be completely melted with some brown spots starting to form.
Once it’s done, pull it out, let it cool for a minute, then slice it up and serve.
