Ingredients

1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
0.25 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise, creating two open-faced pieces.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of the bread.

Step 5

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it generously over the buttered bread.

Step 6

Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the top is slightly bubbling.

Step 8

For an extra crispy top, broil the bread on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing into pieces.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
