Ingredients

• 1 French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add finely minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the olive oil, finely chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Brush the garlic-butter mixture generously over both baguette halves, ensuring an even coating.

Step 6

Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the baguette halves, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 8

For an extra crispy top, switch to the broil setting for the last 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into 2-inch wide pieces.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
