Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half horizontally and place it cut-side up on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the low sodium ricotta cheese, shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese, and grated low sodium Parmesan cheese.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and parsley finely, and add them to the cheese mixture.
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil. Pour this garlic and oil mixture into the cheese mix.
Season the cheese mixture with freshly ground black pepper and stir until well combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
Melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the cheese topping on the baguette.
