Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large French bread loaf
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic roasts, slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and set aside.
Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.
In a medium bowl, mix the mashed roasted garlic, softened butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.
Slice the bread into serving pieces and enjoy warm.
