Ingredients
- 1 french baguette
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick – room temperature)
- 1 tbsp grated garlic (about 5 cloves)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (minced)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ to prepare for baking the garlic bread for optimal crispiness and melting of the butter.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, grated garlic, minced parsley, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Slice the Baguette: Using a sharp bread knife, cut the baguette lengthwise, opening it like a book. Place the cut sides facing up on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread the Butter Mixture: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture across both cut sides of the baguette, ensuring a generous and consistent layer for maximum flavor.
- Bake, Then Broil: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bread for 5 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil and broil the bread for another 5 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and cut into smaller pieces. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish perfect for garlic lovers.
