Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 150 grams Grated mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the French baguette into slices diagonally, about 2 cm thick, but do not cut all the way through. Leave the base intact to keep the loaf in one piece.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter mixture.
Using a pastry brush or a spoon, carefully spread the butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring the flavors get into every slice.
Stuff the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses into the cuts of the bread, dividing it evenly between the slices.
Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Unwrap the foil to allow the top of the bread to crisp up. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Carefully remove the bread from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and pull apart the slices to enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.
