  2. In a bowl, mix the butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  4. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves of the bread.
  5. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Notes

  1. For a cheesier option, swap Parmesan for shredded mozzarella or add a mix of both. You can also use olive oil instead of butter for a healthier alternative.
