Ingredients

• 1 whole French bread loaf
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the butter and olive oil over low heat, stirring until the butter is fully melted.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the spicy garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 7

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

Step 8

For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the bread into serving pieces and serve warm.
