Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional for extra crispiness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces with the flat interior exposed.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat or in 15-second increments in the microwave until fully melted.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Brush the butter mixture generously and evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Ensure the garlic and herbs are distributed evenly across the surface.
If desired, lightly drizzle olive oil over the bread for extra crispiness and richness.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the butter mixture for an added layer of flavor.
Place the prepared bread halves, cut side up, on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
For an extra crispy and golden finish, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye during this step to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice into smaller pieces and serve warm.
