Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh parsley. Add them to the melted butter along with the salt and stir until well combined.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 6

If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 8

For a crispier texture, switch to the broil setting and broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice the bread into serving-sized pieces.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
