Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread is a warm, crispy, and buttery side dish infused with fresh garlic and herbs, perfect for complementing Italian meals or enjoying as a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of French baguette
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.
  3. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.
  5. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
  6. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the butter is melted and bubbly.
  8. For a crispier top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra savory twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture or serve alongside marinara sauce for dipping.
