Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 Garlic cloves, minced (fresh from Gilroy if available)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise to create two large, flat pieces.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread for added flavor.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter is bubbly.
For a crispy finish, switch to the broiler setting for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into smaller pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible aroma and flavor of Gilroy-inspired garlic bread!
