Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or French bread
- 4 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the baguette or French bread in half lengthwise, then slice each half into smaller pieces if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and parsley (if using) until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously onto the cut sides of the bread.
Place the bread, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on top of the bread during the last 2 minutes of baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
