Ingredients

Sliced Bread: Sourdough, french or sandwich bread.
Butter: For an extra special treat, make your own homemade butter. It's easy and has such a fresh cream flavor!
Garlic: Fresh garlic is best. We like to use a garlic press which gives the finest mince possible. It can be substituted with garlic powder if needed.
Chives: Any fresh herb you like can be used in place of chives.
Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Mozzarella gives you the melt and parmesan adds saltiness and flavor.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the garlic butter ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

How to store and reheat

Store the bread in the fridge, wrapped in foil, for up to 2 days. After about 2 days the bread will get pretty stale and will be very hard to soften by reheating.

To reheat, preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Open the foil up to expose the bread. Place it in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
