Cheesy Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Oil for frying (For cooking the bread in the skillet; the amount absorbed may vary.)
• 1 cup Garlic (Finely chopped or crushed.)
• 3 tbsp Butter (For mixing with the garlic.)
• 2 Green chile (Chopped; the original post does not specify an amount, so a moderate quantity is estimated.)
• 1 tsp Chili flakes (Adjust to taste.)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano (The original post lists it together with the chili flakes.)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (Chopped; the amount is estimated because it is not specified.)
• 4 Pav buns (Halved; they may be substituted with soft bread rolls.)
• 200 g Mozzarella cheese (Estimated amount; place on top of the bread or between the halves.)
• 1 tbsp Additional butter (The original post mentions additional butter together with water, probably to help cook the bread.)
• 2 tbsp Water (Add to the skillet as needed to generate steam; the amount is estimated.)
• 1 tbsp Chili oil (For drizzling at the end; the amount is estimated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut each pav bun in half without crushing it. For a crispier result, leave the cut surfaces exposed while you prepare the garlic mixture.

2. 2

   Melt the 3 tbsp of butter in a small bowl. Add the chopped garlic, green chile, chili flakes, oregano, and cilantro, mixing until you have a well-distributed, aromatic butter.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the buns cut-side up and spread the garlic and herb butter over them.

4. 4

   Add the mozzarella to each bread half. Use enough cheese to cover the surface without extending too far over the edges.

5. 5

   Add the additional butter and water to the skillet, placing them around the bread rather than directly over the cheese. This will help maintain moisture while the cheese melts.

6. 6

   Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. The bread should heat through and become lightly browned underneath, while the mozzarella becomes completely melted and bubbly. Watch to ensure the base does not burn.

7. 7

   Uncover, drizzle the bread with chili oil, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and the bread retains its texture.

Notes

The original post does not provide quantities for the green chile, chili flakes, oregano, cilantro, mozzarella, oil, additional butter, water, or chili oil; these amounts were estimated for four buns. The available transcript does not contain usable cooking instructions.
