Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Cuban bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
Slice the Cuban bread loaf horizontally into halves, creating a top and a bottom section.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the olive oil for added richness.
Brush the garlic-butter mixture generously over the cut sides of both bread halves, spreading it evenly to ensure full flavor coverage.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the buttered bread. Finish by sprinkling with sea salt for added texture and flavor.
Place the bread halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly. Slice into portions and serve warm as a side dish or base for a delicious sandwich.
