Epic Stuffed Garlic Bread
1 large loaf Ciabatta bread (or french bread)
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup room temp butter, cut into pieces
2 Tblsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
*optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (I didn't use this)
Preheat oven to 425. Cut your bread into thick slices leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom uncut. Be careful not to cut the bread all the way through, as you need the bread to hold together to contain all the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with a fork. Stuff the filling into the crevices of the bread evenly. You might think you have too much filling but you don't. Use it all.
Wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil, place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover the bread and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the outside of the bread. Serve warm. EnJOY!
