  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • toppings such as mini pepperoni cooked sausage crumbles, cooked bacon crumbles, Canadian bacon, tomatoes, fresh basil, or anything you like!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 385℉
  • Place the La Brea Demi Baguettes directly on the center rack and cook for 9-10 minutes, until almost done and browned.

  • Remove bread from the oven and cut with a bread knife lengthwise. Set the 8 pieces on a large baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the garlic, butter, and olive oil.
    2 tbsp minced garlic, 4 tbsp salted butter, 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Microwave for one minute or until fully melted. Stir to combine.
  • Stir in the parsley and Parmesan.
    1 tbsp fresh parsley, 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Brush each cut side of the bread generously with the butter mixture.
  • Cover each piece of bread with the shredded cheese, and then top with your favorite toppings. Add a bit more cheese on top.

  • Place back in the oven and bake for 5-7 more minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and cut into slices. Serve with ranch or marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I love using take-and-bake French bread, but any French bread will work.
  • Store-bought garlic butter works in place of the butter, oil, and fresh garlic. 
  • Use whatever toppings you like.
  • Store for up to 3 days, reheat in the oven.
