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. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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