Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette
Garlic Butter Spread
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Cheese Topping
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Bread: Slice the French bread or baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make Garlic Butter Spread: In a bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant and flavorful spread.
- Apply Spread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut surfaces of both bread halves, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Add Cheese Topping: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread halves, creating a cheesy layer that will melt beautifully.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into individual servings, and serve warm to enjoy the delicious cheesy garlic bliss.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with dried oregano or basil if preferred.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder is not recommended.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter spread.
- Serve as a side with pasta dishes, soups, or salads for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
