Print: Stuffed Italian Bread

This stuffed Italian bread is an easy way to dress up a plain loaf of bread! Great as an appetizer or as a side dish to grilled steaks. My local grocery sells a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheese that I use.

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Combine butter, parsley, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl.
