Bread

  • 2 12-inch baguette loaves
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Herb Oil

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Slice baguettes in half lengthwise.
  • Mix softened butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly over bread.
  • Place bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the bread while broiling. It can quickly go from golden browned to burnt!

  • Leftovers will keep for 2 days if wrapped tightly in foil and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
