Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves
- 150g softened butter
- 1 tbsp chopped thyme
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (or 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs)
- 2 crusty batons
- 125g block mozzarella
- 125g mature cheddar
Step by step
-
Crush the garlic cloves into the softened butter, and add the thyme and parsley. Cut through the 2 batons every 2cm or so, leaving the slices attached at the base so the loaf stays together.
-
Spread the butter into each cut, on both sides, leaving a little to spread on top. Cut the mozzarella and cheddar into small slices, and tuck one of each into each cut. Wrap the batons in foil and bake for 15-20 minutes at 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Open the foil and crisp up for 5 minutes more. Serve warm.
