Bread

Garlic Butter Spread

Method

Prepare the Garlic Butter

  1. 1

    Soften the Butter

    In a medium bowl, let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened (about 30 minutes).

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    While the butter softens, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Mix the Garlic Butter

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

Prepare the Bread

  1. 4

    Slice the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise.

  2. 5

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

Add Cheese and Bake

  1. 6

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic buttered side of the baguette.

  2. 7

    Bake the Bread

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

Serve

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice into pieces. Serve warm.
