Ingredients
Roasted Garlic:
- 3 heads fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Bread:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread, cut in half horizontally
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel away the outer layers of the garlic, leaving the cloves connected. Trim the tops, exposing the cloves.
- Place garlic heads on aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and seal into a foil packet. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and soft.
- Allow garlic to cool, then squeeze cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste.
Garlic Butter:
- Combine the roasted garlic paste with softened butter, ¼ cup parmesan, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
Assembly:
- Spread the garlic butter generously over each cut side of the ciabatta bread.
- Evenly distribute mozzarella, white cheddar, and additional parmesan over the garlic butter.
Baking:
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is hot and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Serving:
- Slice into 12 portions or as desired, garnish with fresh parsley
