Ingredients

12 inch French Baguette 100g
20ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp of Unsalted Butter 5g
2-3 Cloves Crushed Garlic
40g Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Handful of Dried or Freshly chopped Parsley
1 tbsp Mixed Herbs
Pinch of Sea Salt

Instructions

Grab your French baguette and let’s get ready to transform this ordinary loaf into something truly tasty! Cut the baguette diagonally into as many pieces of your desired thickness. Remember not to cut them too thick or too thin.
To make the mixture for our garlic butter we’ll need around 2/3 of a 1.5 oz shot glass, which is around 20ml of extra virgin olive oil. Put this into a small bowl that you can heat up on the stove on low heat. Drop in 5g or about 1 tsp of unsalted butter into the olive oil and keep mixing until it’s dissolved properly and turn off the heat. Let this cool down while we prep the garlic for the next step.
While our garlic butter cools, remove the skins of 3 garlic cloves and chop them up as finely as you can. Once you’ve finished, drop the finely chopped garlic into the garlic butter mixture. Grab yourself a baking tray, non-stick would be ideal.
Place your sliced baguette pieces onto the tray. Take a small teaspoon and give the yummy garlic butter mixture a stir. Simply take a small teaspoon full of the garlic butter ensuring you have chopped garlic in each spoon and gently pour over the centre of each piece of bread until you’ve used up the oil. Once that’s done you’ll need some parsley, either you can use some in a dried form or just chop some up fresh. Simply put a pinch of parsley onto each slice to decorate along with a light sprinkle of some dried mixed herbs to kick up the flavour!
Don’t start eating these just yet, hold tight! For the last step lay down some of that mozzarella cheese we just grated onto each slice of Bread. You can use more if you really like them extra cheesy. With the right amount we’ll get a burst of cheese, garlic and herbs. Now just bake them up around 350 to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) for around 6 minutes. You can give it a little longer if you prefer them to be extra crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy.
