Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh parsley. Add them to the melted butter along with the salt and stir until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown.
For a crispier texture, switch to the broil setting and broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice the bread into serving-sized pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy!
