Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press. Stir the minced garlic into the melted butter, allowing the heat to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside. In the same saucepan, mix in the Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir well until evenly blended.

Step 6

Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves, ensuring even coverage from edge to edge.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Place the baguette halves in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil on high and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The bread should turn golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Cut into slices and serve warm.
