Baked Garlic Bread
4 servings
25 minutes
Baked bread with garlic is a fragrant and appetizing treat from European cuisine. It consists of crispy slices of baguette soaked in creamy butter, baked garlic, and a cheesy crust. The secret to its rich flavor lies in roasting the garlic, which loses its sharpness and gains a sweet, caramelized note. Enhanced with fresh parsley, it becomes the perfect complement to soups, salads, or meat dishes. Each piece feels the balance between the crunchy texture of the bread and the softness of the buttery garlic, creating true gastronomic pleasure. This recipe is especially good for cozy home evenings or festive gatherings when you want to delight guests with a simple yet elegant treat.
