Ingredients

• 1 large French bread loaf
• 1 whole Garlic bulb
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and set aside.

Step 4

Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the mashed roasted garlic, softened butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 7

Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.

Step 9

Slice the bread into serving pieces and enjoy warm.
