1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Cut bread into 10 diagonal slices (5 in. x 2-1/2-in.). Cut each slice with a 4-in. musical note cookie cutter. (Discard remaining bread or save for another use.)
