Ingredients

1 loaf French Bread cut in half down the middle lengthwise
1/2 cup Olive Oil
3 tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 tbsp. Fresh Minced Garlic
1 tbsp. Thyme
1 tbsp. Oregano dried
1/2 tbsp. Red Pepper Flakes
8 oz. Mozzarella cheese 1 bag should be fine

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (and if you are like me, remove the pans first, haha)
Cut French Bread lengthwise to create two halves.
Combine olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, and all spices into a bowl. Mix with a silicon basting brush.
Spread olive oil mixture on both halves of the French bread, dividing evenly between them. The mixture will be thick with the minced garlic and grated cheese but divides fine. Take care to get around the edges and not concentrate just on the middle.
Split an 8 oz. bag of Mozzarella Cheese between two French Bread halves. We use "Creamy Melt" cheese.
Place bread in oven for 10 minutes.
Change oven to broil and carefully move rack just below broil.
Broil top of garlic bread for approximately 3 minutes, making sure to check to ensure no burning. Broil can move quickly and change depending on the oven, so do not walk off. We recommend checking every minute until done and rotating pan if needed. Broiling can be skilled but does provide the beautiful brown cheese on top of garlic bread.
