Pull-Apart Cheesy Garlic Bread (Small Portion)

So hard to name such dish, should it be cheesy pull-apart garlic bread? Pull-apart cheesy garlic bread? Pull-apart cheese garlic bread? Ah I'm getting confused here. Only thing for sure, this is a recipe filled with garlic and cheese, nothing can go wrong when these two ingredients met.

Pull-apart cheesy garlic bread (small portion) -

Ingredients?

• 1 medium round bread (European/country/sour dough preferred)
• 2 palmful mixed shredded cheese
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon plus a little extra chopped parsley
• 1 to 2 pinches salt

How?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit/190.5 degrees Celsius. Remove butter from the fridge and wait till it softens, or warm it up slightly in the oven.

Slice the bread horizontally and vertically, but do not cut all the way through.

Finely chop the parsley. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Mix both the chopped parsley and garlic with butter, and 1 to 2 pinches of salt. Taste and adjust with salt.

Brush or spoon the butter mixture in between bread slices, the crevices of the bread, then stuff shredded cheese. Also top the bread with extra cheese.

Into the oven and bake till the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. 

Remove from heat and sprinkle some more chopped parsley. Serve immediately, so you can still "pull the cheese apart" while the heat remains.

The bread I used here is about 11cm x 12cm, which works perfectly for two people. Garlic and cheese, you did well again.
