Short on time but need a great side dish. Try this delish easy cheesy garlic bread. Only takes 3 minutes of prep time and another 17 in the oven. Pairs great with soups, and Italian of course.

Ingredients

1 loaf Italian bread

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup romano cheese, thickly grated

1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

Optional: If you like things on the spicey side try sprinking a tablespoon of chipotle on.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the bread lengthwise and place both parts face up on the sheet.

Brush both pieces with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Cover with a piece of aluminum foil and place in the oven.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Uncover bread. Top with cheese.

Place bread back in the oven for 2 to 4 more minutes, to melt the cheese.
Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Let cool for few minutes.
Slice and serve.
