Method

  1. Mix the butter, mozzarella, garlic and basil and season well. Cut diagonal slices into, but not all the way through, the bread. Put a bit of cheesy butter in each slit, double wrap in foil and BBQ until the bread is golden and crisp and cheese melted.
  2. You could also do this in a 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 oven for 25 minutes if you have no space on the BBQ.

    Love this recipe! I used ready to bake petit pains, cut lengthways and stuffed with the mix prior to baking. Did for 8 mins approx and they came out perfect! Went down well at the BBQ and didn't involve slicing etc, which was a bonus. Mix divided easily between 12 petit pains. Have made twice now and this will be a regular feature at our BBQ's....and in Australia (the world leader in dining al fresco) that's no mean feat!
