Ingredients

1 large baguette or Italian loaf

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese

½ cup parmesan cheese

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

1. Prep the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined. Set aside.

2. Grate the Cheese with Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater

Secure the cheese shredder on your countertop—its upgraded silicone suction base grips firmly to glass or marble surfaces, ensuring no slipping. Attach the 2-Blade Set for mozzarella and give the Z-shaped handle a few turns to create fluffy, uniform shreds. Switch to the 5-Blade Set for parmesan to get fine, powdery flakes.

The sharp stainless steel blades and food pusher keep your hands safe while making quick work of large cheese batches.

3. Prepare the Bread

Preheat your oven. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over both cut sides.

4. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the buttered bread, followed by a dusting of parmesan for that nutty, golden finish. Press lightly to ensure the cheese sticks.

5. Bake

Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. For extra crispiness, broil for a minute or two, watching closely to avoid burning.

6. Serve

Let the bread cool slightly, then slice into pieces. Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm alongside pasta, soup, or as a party appetizer.

Tips and Variations

Bread Choice: Use a crusty baguette for crunch or a softer Italian loaf for a chewier texture.

Cheese Swap: Try cheddar or provolone (grated with the 2-Blade Set) for a different flavor profile.

Herb Boost: Add chopped basil or oregano to the butter for extra aroma.

Make Ahead: Prepare the garlic butter and grate cheese in advance; store in the fridge and assemble just before baking.

Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
