Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Slice the baguette into pieces about 1.5-2 cm thick. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Assembly

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread each slice generously with the garlic butter mixture, then top with the grated cheese.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the baguette is crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent the cheese from burning.

Serving

Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve immediately while warm. Perfect as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to soups and salads.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese or Parmesan, for an even richer flavor.

► You can prepare the garlic butter in advance and store it in the fridge to speed up preparation.

► Sprinkle with a little fresh chives or chili flakes before serving if you like spicy flavors.
