Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and place the halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Evenly spread the butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread halves, ensuring the entire surface is covered for maximum flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the butter mixture has melted and the bread is heated through.
Switch the oven to broil on high and broil the bread for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
