Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

Yeah I said it. Cheesy. Garlic. Bread. With lots of butter. It's so easy and SO good. I'm not ashamed to admit this was pretty much my main course with a side of pasta for dinner.

Ingredients:

1 loaf Italian bread
1 stick butter
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp chives
Salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
About 2 cups Shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese

Using a good serrated knife, cut rows in the bread, an inch apart, then turn the bread and repeat to create little squares. But DO NOT CUT THE BREAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH! Make sure to only cut down to about a half inch from the bottom, so it all stays together.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic cloves. Stir for about 30 seconds then remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add the parsley, chives, salt and peppers. Place the bread onto a baking sheet. Drizzle the butter mixture in between the cuts on the bread, then pack some cheese into the cuts. Be generous here! Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melty and bread is crusty. Let cool slightly before serving.
