Let’s Get Baking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices, leaving them connected at the bottom.
- Spread the minced garlic evenly between the slices.
- Generously sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
- Wrap the baguette tightly in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Fun Variations:
- Herby Goodness: Add dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme) to the garlic.
- Spicy Twist: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce adds a kick!
- Bacon Bliss: Sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top for extra deliciousness.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Q: Can I use pre-sliced bread? A: Yes, but adjust baking time accordingly; thinner slices bake faster.
- Q: Can I make it ahead? A: Yes! Prep the garlic bread, refrigerate, and bake when ready. Let it come to room temperature before baking.
- Q: Can I freeze leftovers? A: Yes! Wrap tightly in foil or an airtight container before freezing. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat.
