Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian loaf
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 6 Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the baguette or Italian loaf in half lengthwise, creating two open-faced halves.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix until well combined and evenly distributed.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of both bread halves, ensuring every inch of the bread is coated.
Drizzle a very light amount of olive oil over the garlic butter layer for added richness.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread halves for a gooey, cheesy topping.
Place the prepared bread on the lined baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the butter has melted and the edges of the bread turn golden brown.
Switch your oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve a bubbly, golden cheese topping. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into portions.
Serve immediately while hot, paired with your favorite pasta, soup, or as a stand-alone indulgence. Enjoy 'The Last Garlic Bread You'll Ever Eat'!
