🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 1 whole French bread loaf
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the French bread loaf into 8 even slices, approximately 1-inch thick.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter until fully liquid. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

4. Using a pastry brush or spoon, spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture onto the top of each bread slice.

5. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic-buttered bread slices.

6. Place the prepared bread onto the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

7. Once baked, remove the bread slices from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

8. Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite pasta dish.
