Ingredients
  

Garlic Bread
  • 1 loaf French baguette
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 4-6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated (optional)

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the garlic butter by combining softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt in a small bowl until well mixed.
  2. Slice the baguette lengthwise down the middle, then spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of both halves; sprinkle with optional Parmesan cheese if desired.
  3. Place the bread butter-side up on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, then slice into individual portions and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can toast the garlic lightly in a pan with a little olive oil before adding it to the butter mixture.
