Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheese Garlic Bread

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Slice the bread loaf lengthwise and place it cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Mix softened butter with freshly crushed garlic until smooth, then spread it over the cut surfaces of the bread.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheeses evenly over the garlic buttered bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Switch to broil and broil for an additional 1–2 minutes until golden, being careful not to burn.
Let the bread cool for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs, cut into pieces, and serve warm.
