# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
04 - Pour the garlic butter mixture over the bread cubes and toss until evenly coated.
05 - Add shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan to the bowl, tossing again until the cheese is evenly distributed among the bread cubes.

07 - Bake for 15 minutes, until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For deeper garlic flavor, let the bread cubes sit in the garlic butter mixture for a few minutes before baking
02 - Use a serrated knife to easily cut the baguette into cubes
03 - For extra crispiness, broil the bites for the last 1-2 minutes of baking
