Ingredients
-
1 loaf of Italian bread (or your favorite soft bread)
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Slice the loaf of bread into 1-inch wide sections, but do not cut all the way through the bottom to keep the bread intact.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Carefully drizzle the garlic butter mixture between the slices of bread, ensuring each section is coated.
-
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly between the slices, followed by the chopped parsley.
-
Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the butter is melted and the bread is warm.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the bread to crisp up slightly.
- Serve warm and pull apart to enjoy!
Notes
-
For a stronger garlic flavor, you can add more garlic to the butter mixture.
-
You can substitute the Parmesan with other cheeses like mozzarella for a gooey texture.
-
This bread can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, then reheated in the oven.
- Add extra herbs like oregano or thyme for additional flavor!
