- parmesan, optional, to taste
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 –Rub the halved garlic cloves on the cut side of the sliced French bread.
Step 3 –Mince the garlic.
Step 4 –Combine the minced garlic, butter, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and parmesan in a small bowl, mixing until well combined.
Step 5 –Spread half of the butter mixture on the cut side of one piece of the bread and the remaining butter mixture on the cut side of the other piece of bread. Make sure every part of the cut side is coated in the butter.
