Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, finely chopped)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 20-30 seconds).
Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter along with the parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Use a pastry brush or spoon to spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered bread, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden.
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve warm.
