Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two long halves.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a garlic butter spread.

Step 4

Brush the cut sides of the baguette halves lightly with olive oil.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture across the cut sides of the baguette using a spatula, making sure every part is covered for maximum flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread.

Step 8

For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice into individual pieces and serve warm.
