Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz French bread loaf
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup parmesan grated
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • shredded mozzarella optional

Method

  1. Heat the oven to broil, or to 500°F. Cut the loaf in half horizontally, then cut each half in half vertically so you have four pieces.
  2. Mix the soft butter with the parsley, garlic, Parmesan, salt, black pepper and oregano in a small bowl.
  3. Spread the garlic butter generously over the cut sides of all four pieces, and add shredded mozzarella if using.
  4. Set the pieces on a baking tray and broil 3 to 6 minutes, watching them closely because they burn quickly under the broiler, until the tops are golden brown and any cheese is bubbling.
  5. Cut the pieces diagonally or across into smaller slices and serve the garlic bread hot.
