- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 baguette, cut into thick 1.5cm slices
- 1.5 cups grated melting cheese (see note 1) optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven grill.
- Melt the butter in 10-second intervals in the microwave until it softens (it will take roughly 20 seconds).
- Mix in garlic, parsley and salt using a spoon.
- Spread the butter mixture on one side of the bread slices.
- Top each slice with the grated cheese.
- Place your bread on a baking tray (use two trays if needed so that no pieces overlap). Grill for 2-5 minutes. They will cook quickly. Keep an eye on them.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Note 1 – Mozzarella or tasty cheese is best. Pre-shredded cheese can be used but contains additives. It doesn’t melt as well as freshly grated cheese.
MAKE AHEAD – Follow the recipe up until step 5. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 24 hours. Cook as per the recipe. Check out my Freezer Friendly Garlic Bread for a freezer alternative.
LEFTOVERS – Best consumed immediately once cooked.
