Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 loaf 1 loaf of bread (French or Italian works best)
  • ½ cup ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup 1 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella, Cheddar, or a blend) More cheese can be added for extra cheesiness.
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
  • to taste Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and dried parsley until it's creamy.
  • Cut your loaf of bread in half lengthwise and spread an even layer of the butter mixture onto both halves.
  • Use a skull-shaped cookie cutter to cut out pieces from the bread, leaving some extra space around the skulls for added crustiness.

Baking

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over each skull.
  • Place your skulls on a baking sheet and pop them into the preheated oven.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  • Serve warm, and watch them disappear as fast as you can mention the word 'delicious!'

Notes

For garlic lovers, double the garlic or add roasted garlic for depth. Drizzling olive oil before baking adds a crispy crust. These skulls pair nicely with marinara sauce for dipping.
