Cheesy Garlic Bread Deliciously Made at Home

Ingredients

• 1 large French baguette
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 2 grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• to taste Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt. Mix well until fully combined to create the garlic butter spread.
4. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously onto the cut sides of both halves of the bread.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the garlic buttered sides of the baguette.
7. Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. For an extra crispy top, broil on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into pieces.
