Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread or baguette in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the butter from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the garlic herb butter mixture over both halves of the bread.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the bread, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the top of each bread half to help the cheese brown and bubble.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil and toast the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice it into desired portions and serve warm.
