Ingredients

1 loaf of French Bread great for day old bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1 tablespoon garlic minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated (optional)
1 cup shredded mozzarella optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Slice the bread lengthwise, using a serrated knife. Then place the bread on the baking sheet, cut side up.
Now in a food processor add the softened butter, oil, salt, pepper, parsley, and mix until blended.
Spread the garlic butter spread on the bread in an even layer.
Then sprinkle the garlic bread with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges of the garlic bread until crispy and cheese is melted.
Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool, and then slice and serve.

Notes

Air Fryer Directions: Place the garlic bread in the air fryer, and cook at 350 degrees, and air fry for 5 minutes and check. Then cook another 3-5 minutes or until the bread is crispy and done.

Bread - I used French bread, or you can reach for Texas toast or another cut of bread.

Storage - Store the leftover bread in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat you will warm in the microwave, or back in the oven. The oven will give the bread a crispy texture.

Freezing Bread - You can freeze the bread before you bake it. Wrap in aluminum foil then place in an airtight container. Then place on baking sheet and cook from frozen, just add a few extra minutes for cooking.

Garlic Butter Spread - if you have leftover garlic butter spread, store in an airtight container in the fridge. Mix in vegetables, top steak, pair with chicken for seasoning, etc. You can use the garlic butter for anything.
