Step 1

Cut bread in half, long ways.

Step 2

Mix the room temperature butter with the garlic powder. Evenly spread half of the garlic butter mixture on each half of the Italian bread. Bake the buttered bread on a parchment lined sheet, for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until lightly browned.

Step 3

While the bread is in the oven, mix the Marie’s Blue Cheese Dressing with the blue cheese crumbles.

Step 4

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and allow it to cool (about 5 minutes). Spread the Dressing and crumble mixture equally on each half of the Italian bread. Make sure to spread the mixture all the way to the edges of the bread.

Step 5

Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese on each half of the bread, then the paprika, and then the parsley flakes.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, until the bread is “bubbly”. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Cut into individual pieces and serve.
