Ingredients

½ cup butter
1½ tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 (1-pound) loaf Italian bread, sliced
1 (8-ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley until well combined. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is lightly toasted. Remove from the oven, sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the slices, and drizzle with any remaining butter mixture. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is lightly browned. Serve warm.
