Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 2 whole Garlic bulbs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off both garlic bulbs, exposing the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut bulbs, then wrap them in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Roast the wrapped garlic bulbs in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the garlic roasts, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, then into smaller sections if desired, and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, freshly chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Once the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork. Add the garlic paste to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

Step 8

Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your upgraded garlic bread!
