Directions

1. 1

   Roast the Garlic

   Slice the Baguette

   Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Spread Garlic Butter

   Spread the roasted garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the baguette.

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Basil

   Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered baguette and top with fresh basil leaves.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve with Sauce

   Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve with the signature red sauce for dipping.
