1/4 cup melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf of bread horizontally and vertically, creating a grid pattern without cutting all the way through the bottom.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, pepperoni or sausage (if using), green onions, melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the Bread: Carefully stuff the cheese mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring even distribution.
