Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 8 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized.
While the garlic roasts, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and lay the two halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, parsley, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
When the roasted garlic is ready, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash the garlic into a paste with a fork and mix it into the butter mixture.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the baguette.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over both halves, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Place the baguette halves under a broiler set to high, and toast for 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, slice into individual pieces, and serve hot.
