Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two open-faced pieces.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the garlic butter. Add the salt and mix well.

Step 5

Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette using a pastry brush or spoon.

Step 6

Grate the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle it generously over the buttered bread. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the mozzarella for added flavor.

Step 7

Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 8

Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end if you prefer a more browned and crispy cheese topping, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing into smaller pieces.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
