Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette lengthwise to create two long halves.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and minced garlic. Mix well until the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic butter, followed by the shredded mozzarella.
- Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like provolone, cheddar or Gruyere.
- Make sure butter is softened so it’s easier to mix with garlic.
- Serve immediately for the best taste.
