Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Whole wheat baguette
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the whole wheat baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces, then slice each half into four smaller pieces to make eight slices total.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Using a brush or spoon, evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread slices.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese generously over the buttered side of each slice, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish with your favorite meals.
