Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette or bread in half horizontally, and then cut each half into smaller sections for serving, depending on your preference.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave until just melted.
Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press, and stir the minced garlic into the melted butter.
Chop the parsley finely and mix it into the garlic butter. Add the grated Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and olive oil. Stir until well combined.
Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet cut-side up, and evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and slightly crisp.
For an extra-crispy finish, optionally broil the bread for 1-2 minutes at the end, keeping a careful eye to avoid burning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side to your favorite meal!
