1/2 cup butter, room temperature
6 cloves garlic, finely crushed
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 /3 cup chopped curly parsley
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 loaf French or sourdough bread
Marinara - everyday tomato sauce, see recipe here
8 oz almost any shredded white cheese: mozzarella, provolone, Monterey jack..they’ll all work
5 ounces small pepperoni slices
Preheat oven to 425
Put butter, garlic, Parmesan, parsley and salt in a large bowl - mix well to combine
Cut loaf in half lengthwise and spread mixture on each cut side
Place on baking sheet and put in oven about 6 minutes
Remove and add a layer of the marinara (not too thick) to the top of each side of bread, then sprinkle with the shredded cheese and finally top with the pepperoni
Put back in the oven about 10 minutes, or until the pep has started to cup, it’s getting crispy and beautiful
Slice and serve
