Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley.

  3. 3

    Slice the Baguette

    Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side facing up.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread Garlic Butter

    Using a brush or a spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese Topping

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the garlic butter. Follow with a layer of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

  2. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
