Garlic Butter Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces of bread.

Making Garlic Butter

  1. 3

    Soften the Butter

    In a medium bowl, let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened.

  2. 4

    Mince Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

  3. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the softened butter. Mix until well combined.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 6

    Spread Garlic Butter

    Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of the French bread.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered bread.

  3. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 9

    Broil for Finish

    For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
