Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 16 ounces ciabatta loaf
  • 8 large garlic cloves
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoons dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Method

  • Step 1

    Place 6 large, unpeeled garlic cloves in a pan that’s been preheated over medium-high heat. Let garlic cloves roast in the pan for 7 minutes, untouched. Use tongs to flip garlic cloves to the other side and roast for an additional 7 minutes. Remove them from the pan and let cool enough to peel them.

  • Step 2

    Chop the peeled, roasted garlic cloves into small pieces. Add roasted garlic and 2 large, minced garlic cloves to 1/3 cup olive oil.

  • Step 3

    Slice loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Place both halves, cut-side up, on a large baking sheet. Use a spoon to drizzle garlic oil all over the halves. You can use a basting brush to spread the oil more evenly.

  • Step 4

    Sprinkle halves evenly with both types of cheese. Add dried oregano and then the finely chopped parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5

    On high-broil, bake garlic bread for 5-6 minutes in the oven, until the cheese has melted and the edges of the bread turn golden brown.

  • Step 6

    Slice into pieces and serve right away.
