Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette or bread in half horizontally, and then cut each half into smaller sections for serving, depending on your preference.

Step 3

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave until just melted.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press, and stir the minced garlic into the melted butter.

Step 5

Chop the parsley finely and mix it into the garlic butter. Add the grated Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and olive oil. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet cut-side up, and evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 8

For an extra-crispy finish, optionally broil the bread for 1-2 minutes at the end, keeping a careful eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy as a side to your favorite meal!
