Cheesy Garlic Bread: Ingredients

• Serrano ham
• Baguette
• Parsley
• Garlic
• Butter
• Mozzarella

Soften the butter and add it to the chopped garlic and parsley. Be generous with both!

Slice up the Serrano ham and add it to the mixture. It’s essential that the butter is fully softened and the mixture fully combined.

Make slices into a baguette that go about 3/4 of the way to the bottom. You can use a day old baguette for this if needed – it will crisp up in the oven anyway, so it doesn’t have to be totally fresh.

Smear the mixture into all the cracks in the bread, pushing it down as far as you can.

Place the bread into tinfoil and wrap it up tight. Pop it into the oven at 200C/400F for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to get crisp.

While the bread cooks, strain all the liquid from the mozzarella and slice it up.

Remove the baguette from the oven and carefully slide a slice of mozzarella into each crack of the baguette. Pop it back into the oven for 2 minutes, until the cheese is melting and oozing out of the cracks.

Remove the bread from the tinfoil…

Serve the cheesy garlic bread up family-style at the table and watch as everyone’s faces light up with delight.
