Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F degrees

Cut loaf in half lengthwise, and put one half on baking sheet.
(This recipe is for half a loaf.)

In a small bowl combined softened butter with minced garlic. Stir well.

In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese with mayonnaise.

It's a bit glumpy (very technical cooking term there). Just do your best to combine them together with a spoon.

Spread butter/garlic mixture on loaf.
Next, spread cheese/mayo mixture on top. I find it easiest to do this part with my hands.

Sprinkle with some dried parsley flakes for a bit of color. This part is optional.

Bake in 375F degree oven for about 12-15 minutes. Until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cut into slices and serve.

If you like, serve it with a little marinara dipping sauce and dig in!
