Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 ounces Provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally and place both pieces cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of the bread.
Top each half of the bread with Provolone cheese. Ensure even coverage by overlapping slices slightly or sprinkling shredded cheese generously.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per bread half) over the cheese to help it melt and brown nicely.
Place the prepared bread in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are crisp.
For an extra golden top, switch the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing into serving-sized pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy your Provolone Garlic Bread as a flavorful side or snack!
