Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French bread loaf
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan cheese, minced parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously spread the butter mixture evenly over each half of the French bread. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy around the edges.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut the bread into slices or wedges for easy serving.
Serve warm and watch this savory delight disappear in an instant!
