Ingredients

Main

Bread slices (as required)

Butter (softened)

1 tbsp oregano

1 tsp chilli flakes

2–3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

1 tbsp fresh coriander (chopped)

Mozzarella cheese (grated, as required)

Step by step method

Step 1

Mix softened butter with chopped garlic, oregano, chilli flakes, and coriander.

Step 2

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on bread slices.

Step 3

Top generously with mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 8–10 minutes or until cheese melts and bread is golden. (Alternatively, toast on a pan with lid on, until cheese melts.)

Step 5

Serve hot with pizza, pasta, or enjoy as a snack!

Tips & variations

Minced fresh garlic gives a stronger, aromatic flavor compared to garlic powder.
Bake just until cheese melts and edges are golden; overbaking will harden the bread.
