Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Oven
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter softened
- ½ cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 loaf Italian bread 16-oz
- 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven broiler on HIGH. This will ensure your bread gets that perfect golden top.
- Cream together the butter and Gorgonzola cheese in a mixing bowl until well combined. This mixture should be smooth and creamy, which will easily spread over the bread.
- Add the minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix well, ensuring the herbs and spices are evenly distributed for a burst of flavor in every bite.
- Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise. This allows for easy spreading and helps the toppings melt beautifully into the bread.
- Spread the creamy cheese mixture generously on each half of the bread. Make sure to cover the surface evenly so that every bite is packed with flavor.
- Sprinkle the top of both halves with Parmesan cheese. This will create a lovely, crispy crust as it broils.
- Place the bread under the broiler and watch it closely. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; the goal is a lovely golden color.
- Once the cheese has melted, carefully remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool for a minute.
- Cut into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness of your Gorgonzola Garlic Bread!
