4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt (This is an estimate. I just sprinkle evenly over both sides of the loaf)
1 loaf Italian bread (halved lengthwise)
Couple handfuls mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh herbs

Preheat broiler to high. Adjust a rack to be about 10-12 inches from the broiler.
In a small bowl combine butter, olive oil, and minced garlic. Microwave until butter is melted, about 45 seconds.
Place bread, cut side up, on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until bread starts to brown. It goes from golden to black in seconds (it seems) so keep a close eye on it.
Remove the bread from the oven and brush liberally with butter mixture. Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt. Place mozzarella cheese on top. Place back under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes or until mozzarella is melted, browned, and bubbly. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped herbs, and serve.
