Ingredients
- 1 French baguette loaf
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1½ tablespoons Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Baguette: Cut the baguette loaf into thirds, then slice each third in half lengthwise. Place the halves on the baking sheet with the cut side facing up.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the softened butter and Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning, mixing well to ensure even distribution of garlic flavor.
- Spread and Sprinkle: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves. Then, generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered surfaces.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the bread edges turn golden brown and the Parmesan cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor twist.
- Use fresh garlic minced finely if Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning is unavailable, adjusting quantities to taste.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
