1
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, ensuring there are no large chunks.
2
Mix Butter and Garlic
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

3
Slice the Baguette
Take the French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise, ensuring you do not cut all the way through.
4
Spread Garlic Butter
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring even coverage.

5
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6
Bake the Bread
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
7
Add Optional Cheese
If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the garlic butter before baking for the last 2-3 minutes for a cheesy finish.

8
Slice and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
