This garlic bread recipe starts with a French loaf topped with a buttery spread of garlic and herbs. It’s baked until golden and crispy.
Ingredients :
1 loaf french bread
½ cup salted butter softened
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 cloves garlic minced, see notes for alternatives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional
Directions :
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, and parsley until well mixed.
Using a serrated knife, cut the bread in half lengthwise.
Spread the cut sides of the bread with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with cheese if using. Place the halves, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and toasted. Cut into slices and enjoy.
