Preparation

Step 1

Make Ahead
•
Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese as recipe directs. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days in advance. Soften at room temperature before using.
•
Cut slices down the length of the bread loaf at 1-inch intervals, without cutting all the way through.

Rub slices and top of loaf with cut sides of garlic halves. Mince garlic.

Combine butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan in a small bowl. Spread butter mixture between bread slices and on top of loaf.

Wrap bread in foil, leaving top partially uncovered. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Variation

To serve with chicken, substitute white cheddar cheese for the Parmesan and chopped chives for the parsley.

To satisfy real cheese lovers, use sliced provolone cheese instead of the grated Parmesan.
