Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf crusty bread (baguette or Italian bread, about 12–14 inches), sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced finely
  • 3/4 cup (75g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat (about 10 minutes).
  2. Make the garlic-parmesan butter: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  3. Slice the bread: Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices using a serrated knife for uniformity.
  4. Spread the butter mixture: Spread a generous layer of the garlic-parmesan butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
  5. Prepare for baking: Place the slices buttered side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle or brush olive oil over the top of each slice.
  6. Bake: Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and crispy, and cheese bubbles slightly.
  7. Optional broil: Optional: For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Cool slightly: Remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife for uniform bread slices.
  • Broiling at the end adds extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust salt to taste.
