Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

    In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with chopped fresh parsley, zest of half a lemon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through. Generously spread the cream cheese mixture inside the bread.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and brush the garlic butter mixture over the top and inside the bread. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
