Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, then into smaller sections if desired, and place it on a baking sheet cut-side up.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat or in 15-second intervals in the microwave.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and parsley. Add them to the melted butter along with the salt and olive oil. Stir well to combine.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring even coverage.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra savory flavor and texture.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a bit of extra parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or accompaniment to your favorite pasta or soup.
