Ingredients
- 1 whole French bread loaf
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Step 4
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan cheese, minced parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously spread the butter mixture evenly over each half of the French bread. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy around the edges.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut the bread into slices or wedges for easy serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and watch this savory delight disappear in an instant!
