• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread

5 tablespoons butter, softened

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Cut loaf into ten 1-inch slices.

Mix butter, garlic, oil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; spread butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread; arrange bread slices, butter-side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Cook under the preheated broiler until slightly brown, checking frequently so they do not burn, about 3 minutes.

Top bread slices with cheese and return to broiler until cheese is slightly brown and melted, about 2 minutes.

Serve hot.
