Ingredients

Units Scale

Bread:

  • 1 loaf of French bread, sliced in half lengthwise

Garlic Butter:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Spread the garlic butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
  4. Bake: Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and butter is melted. Broil for 1–2 minutes for a crispier texture.
  5. Serve: Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw.
  • You can add mozzarella or provolone cheese for a cheesy variation.
