Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, creating two long halves, and place them on the prepared baking sheet cut side up.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.

Step 6

Generously sprinkle the cheese mixture over the buttered baguette halves, ensuring an even layer of cheese on each piece.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

If desired, broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy top. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if using.

Step 10

Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your extra cheesy garlic bread!
