Garlic Bread Ingredients

Method

Garlic Bread Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Mixture

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic with olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a garlic oil blend.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

  3. 3

    Add the Garlic Mixture

    Using a spoon or brush, evenly spread the garlic oil mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves, ensuring the garlic is well-distributed.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Cheese

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle them evenly over the garlic-covered baguette. Then, top with mozzarella cheese, making sure to cover the tomatoes completely.

  5. 5

    Bake the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once out of the oven, let the garlic bread cool for a minute. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish. Slice into portions and serve warm.
