Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut rustic bread

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet, butter side up.

      Melt the Cheese: In a separate bowl, mix together the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.

        Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.

          Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.

            Serve: Allow to cool for a minute before slicing each piece into halves or quarters. Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Garlic Bread Melts!
