Ingredients:
1 sub roll or demi-loaf, 6-8 inches long2 1/4-inch thick slices mozzarella cheese, cut into quarters1/2 cup garlic butter (recipe follows)Garlic Butter:5 garlic cloves2 shallots5 sprigs parsley, stemmed1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon black pepper2 sticks unsalted butter softened(This makes 1 cup of garlic butter, enough for two 8-inch lengths of bread, or for one length, with leftover butter for pasta.)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut the bread into 1/2-inch slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf.
Put a piece of cheese in each slit. Spread the garlic butter over the top of the loaf.
Bake on a baking sheet 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is nicely browned on top.
To make the garlic butter, mince the garlic, shallots and parsley in a food processor. Transfer this mixture to a stand mixer and add the salt, pepper, and butter. Using the paddle attachment, whip until the butter is soft.
