Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two long halves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a garlic butter spread.
Brush the cut sides of the baguette halves lightly with olive oil.
Evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture across the cut sides of the baguette using a spatula, making sure every part is covered for maximum flavor.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice into individual pieces and serve warm.
