Ingredients

• 1 loaf Whole wheat baguette
• 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the whole wheat baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces, then slice each half into four smaller pieces to make eight slices total.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Using a brush or spoon, evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese generously over the buttered side of each slice, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish with your favorite meals.
