Aromatic and crispy classic garlic bread, perfect as a side for pasta dishes or as a savory snack. Made with fresh garlic, butter, and parsley on a crusty baguette.
Ingredients
1 baguette (about 12 inches), sliced in half lengthwise
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
Place the baguette halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy your classic garlic bread.
