Mozzarella Herb Garlic Bread is lightly toasted bread rubbed with garlic, sprinkled with herbs, then covered with cheese and baked until bubbling and brown.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a sheet pan lined in aluminum foil.
Peel the garlic clove and have it handy for when the bread comes out of the oven. A larger clove will work best.
Using a bread knife, cut as many ½ to 1-inch thick slices of bread that you want and place them on the prepared pan.
Bake for about 5 minutes, just until the bread starts to get crisp a bit, but not brown. You just want some resistance for the garlic application.
Once the bread is crisp (not brown), about 3 to 5 minutes take the pan back out of the oven and turn on the broiler.
Being careful not to burn yourself on the hot pan, lightly press down on the bread and rub the garlic clove all over the surface of the bread. You will notice the garlic will sort of melt away as you go along.
Once the bread has been rubbed with the garlic, sprinkle the slices lightly with basil and oregano.
Cover the bread with the slices of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with a bit more basil and oregano.
Place the baking sheet back into the oven under the broiler and closely watch it as the cheese turns brown and bubbles; about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
