Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf French bread or any crusty bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Knife or spatula for spreading
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice your bread lengthwise, leaving the bottom crust intact.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut side of the bread.
  5. If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the top of the bread.
  6. Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

For a lighter option, use olive oil instead of butter. Fresh garlic makes a significant difference in flavor compared to powdered versions. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, place slices back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
