Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette or Italian bread into thick slices, approximately 1 inch wide, without cutting all the way through. Leave the bottom crust intact to keep the loaf connected.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture between each slice of the bread, ensuring an even coating.

Step 6

For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese into each slice as well.

Step 7

Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully unwrap the loaf to expose the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes to get a crispy finish.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Fabulous Garlic Bread warm with your favorite meal!
