Pull-Apart Cheese Bread

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the bread diagonally in both directions to form a checkerboard pattern, but do not cut through the bottom crust. 
3. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. 
4. Use a pastry brush to brush the garlic butter mixture inside all the cuts in the bread. 
5. Stuff the shredded cheese between the cuts, distributing it as evenly as possible. 
6. Wrap the bread in foil and place it on a baking sheet. 
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. 
8. Open up the foil and bake the bread for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is crisp. 
9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. 
10. Let the bread cool for a few minutes and serve immediately.
