Steps

Prep

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise, then make crosswise cuts into each half, but don't cut all the way through, to create a 'boat' shape. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Fill & Bake

Brush the inside of the baguettes generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, making sure to get some into the cuts. Place the filled baguettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Serve

Remove the baguette boats from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let them cool for a few minutes, then slice along the pre-made cuts and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!

Extra Tips

► Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, and don't be shy with the quantity!

► Experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or provolone, alongside mozzarella.

► You can scoop out some of the baguette's interior to fit more filling, and toast the scooped-out bread for croutons!
