Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 02

   In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. 03

   Slice the baguette lengthwise down the middle, or cut into 1-inch thick slices without cutting all the way through the bottom, keeping the loaf intact.

   Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

5. 05

   Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

6. 06

   Remove from the oven, slice if not already, and serve warm.
