Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Low-sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and garlic powder.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the French bread.
Sprinkle the low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread halves, then do the same with the grated low-sodium Parmesan cheese.
Season the cheese layer with a light sprinkling of black pepper for extra flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For an extra crispy top, set the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing the bread into individual servings.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium garlic cheese bread!
