Serves 4-8.
1 large Italian, French, or sourdough loaf or boule
1/2 butter, softened
1 large clove garlic, minced
12-16 ounces cheese (cheddar, Jack, mozzarella, combination, etc.)
Chopped parsley or scallions, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut a cross-hatch pattern into the top of bread by slicing bread partially through 1/2-inch apart width wise, then length wise. Keep bottom of the loaf intact. Place bread on a large piece of foil.
Stir together butter and garlic. Gently separate bread and spoon the mixture into all the seams, evenly distributing it. Sprinkle cheese on top, pushing the cheese down into the cracks. Wrap up in foil, then place in the oven for 10 minutes. Open foil and bake until cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to brown, another 15 minutes or so. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and/or scallions and serve warm.
