Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on each cut side.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered bread for a cheesy crust.

Bake 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from oven and let rest 1–2 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces.
