Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.

Step 2

Combine butter, garlic and salt in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave. Stir through parsley.

Step 3

Cut the bread on a diagonal into 2cm/1" diamonds but do not cut all the way through the bread.

Step 4

Use your fingers or a knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter and stuff in a pinch of cheese. This might sound like a bit of an effort, but I promise you it is worth it! You don't need to be super neat, it's nice to have some of the butter drizzled over the crust.

Step 5

Brush surface with remaining butter.

Step 6

Wrap with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese has mostly melted, then unwrap and bake for 5 - 10 minutes more to make the bread nice and crusty.

Step 7

Serve immediately. (See note 1 for best make ahead methods)
