Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 8 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized.
Step 3
While the garlic roasts, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and lay the two halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, parsley, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 5
When the roasted garlic is ready, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash the garlic into a paste with a fork and mix it into the butter mixture.
Step 6
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the baguette.
Step 7
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over both halves, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Step 8
Place the baguette halves under a broiler set to high, and toast for 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, slice into individual pieces, and serve hot.
