Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Parmesan cheese |
| 1/2 | Mayonnaise |
| 1/3 | Dried basil |
| 1/4 | Garlic powder |
| 1/4 | Dried oregano |
| 1/8 | Salt |
| 1/8 | Black pepper |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your bread gets that perfect golden crust.
-
-
Prepare the Bread: Take a loaf of your favorite Italian bread, and with a sharp knife, make cuts into it. Be careful not to slice all the way through; you want to create slices that are still attached at the bottom. Aim for about 12 slices.
-
Mix the Savory Goodness: In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese (1), mayonnaise (1/2), dried basil (1/3), garlic powder (1/4), dried oregano (1/4), salt (1/8), and black pepper (1/8). Mix everything together until it forms a deliciously savory paste.
-
Spread the Magic: Now, take this flavorful mixture and generously spread it between the slices of your bread. Don’t be shy—it’s all about getting that amazing flavor in every bite. Make sure to also spread some of the mixture over the top of the bread.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place your prepared bread on a baking sheet, and pop it into the preheated oven. Let it bake for around 12 minutes or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese is melty and irresistible.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a moment, then slice into those aromatic, cheesy, savory slices. This bread is fantastic on its own, as a side to a hearty pasta dish, or as a delicious snack any time of the day.
