Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place the halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted butter (softened), grated garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well incorporated.

Step 4

Spread the garlic-butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of the baguette halves, ensuring it reaches all edges.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread for an extra cheesy kick.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.

Step 7

For an extra crispy texture, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve warm.
