Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Cuban bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Slice the Cuban bread loaf horizontally into halves, creating a top and a bottom section.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
Step 4
Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the olive oil for added richness.
Step 5
Brush the garlic-butter mixture generously over the cut sides of both bread halves, spreading it evenly to ensure full flavor coverage.
Step 6
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the buttered bread. Finish by sprinkling with sea salt for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Place the bread halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly. Slice into portions and serve warm as a side dish or base for a delicious sandwich.
