Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (grated, optional) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
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 bread lengthwise into two halves, keeping the shape intact.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and olive oil until well combined. Optionally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and richness.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously and evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves.
Place the bread halves buttered-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the garlic bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter has fully melted into the bread.
For a crispier texture, switch to the broil setting for the final 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Slice into smaller pieces for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish or standalone treat!
