Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or French bread (cut in half lengthwise)
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 225 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (ground, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.
Place the loaf of bread cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture across the cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over both halves of the bread, followed by a layer of grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top to enhance flavor and aid in browning (optional).
Place the bread in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor (optional).
Cut the bread into slices and serve warm. Enjoy!
