Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Place bread halves on the baking sheet, cut side up, and brush evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses over the bread.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a crispier top, broil for 1–2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
Mix fresh herbs like basil or thyme into the butter for extra flavor.
Swap in provolone or fontina for a different cheese profile.
Store leftovers wrapped in foil and reheat in the oven for best texture.
