Ingredients

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 crusty bread loaf my fave is sourdough
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded

MISO GARLIC BUTTER:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 head garlic minced OR roasted
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parmesan grated or shredded
  • 2 teaspoons chili flakes optional / adjust to your spice level

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine butter, miso paste, garlic, garlic powder, fresh parsley, parmesan, and chili flakes (if using) until well combined. Set aside.
  • Cut the bread diagonally into about 1-inch diamonds - do not cut all the way through the bread. Tightly wrap the bottom of the bread in foil (photo in blog post above); this will help keep the bread held together while stuff it with cheese!
  • Use your fingers or a knife to spread the wedges open, then spread the miso garlic butter and stuff mozzarella cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don’t need to be super neat - excess miso garlic butter dripping on the crust means an extra flavorful crust!
  • Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bread golden & crunchy. Garnish with more parsley, then serve & enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Bread: Use already baked bread, not uncooked bread dough. Ideally, using sourdough or a crusty bread because it holds up well when being pulled apart.
  • Cheeses: Use freshly grated cheese for the best gooey stretchy results!
  • Miso Paste: White miso paste blends beautifully with this recipe. Find it at local Asian or Japanese markets, or online.
