### **Instructions**
1. **Preheat oven** to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Slice the bread** in half lengthwise and place it on the baking sheet.
3. **Mix the butter and garlic** in a small bowl, then spread it evenly over both halves of the bread.
4. **Sprinkle the cheeses, oregano, and red pepper flakes** over the top.
5. **Bake for 10-12 minutes** until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
6. **Broil for 1-2 minutes** for extra crispiness.
7. **Top with fresh parsley** and serve warm!

### **The Science of Balance in This Recipe**
✔ **Butter:** Too much makes it greasy, too little makes it dry. 4 tbsp is just right.
✔ **Garlic:** More than 3 cloves can overpower, less than 2 may not give enough flavor.
✔ **Cheese:** The blend of mozzarella and Parmesan gives a balance of melty texture and sharpness.
✔ **Oregano & Red Pepper Flakes:** These enhance flavor without stealing the show.

## **Final Thoughts**
Recipes are more than just a list of ingredients—they’re a science of balance. Finding the **optimal amount** of each component ensures the best texture, flavor, and experience. Next time you cook or bake, don’t just follow a recipe—**think about the balance** that makes it perfect!

Happy cooking! 🍞🧄🧀✨
