Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread (not the long thin baguette kind)
- 1/2-3/4 cup butter , softened (no substitutes, I use 3/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons garlic fresh minced (if you like an extreme garlic flavor then add in some garlic powder also)
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for 1/2 cup or if using 3/4 cup butter increase to 1 tablespoon dried)
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (you may increase slightly if desired)
- 1 pinch salt (or to taste)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Step 2: Cut slices down the length of the bread about 1-inch intervals without cutting all the way through.
-
Step 3: In a bowl combine the softened butter with garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese; mix well to combine.
-
Step 4: Spread the butter/garlic mixture between bread slices, and then on the top of the loaf (you may sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top of the loaf if desired).
-
Step 5: Wrap the bread in heavy-duty foil leaving the top partially uncovered.
-
Step 6: Bake until heated through (about 15 minutes).
-
Step 7: For garlic toast slices; slice the bread into slices, then spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each slice of bread, then sprinkle more Parmesan cheese over the top of each slice or you can sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top in place of the Parmesan. Place onto a baking sheet and bake (350 degrees F bottom oven rack) until lightly toasted to desired doneness (this will not take long!)
