Cheesy garlic bread

Garlic bread is a household favourite that can be paired with so many dishes and it rounds of the meal perfectly.

I love serving it with crumbed mushrooms as for a perfectly light meat free lunch or dunked into the creamy sauce from a big bowl of prawns or mussels. And it goes without saying that any and all Italian dishes are instantly elevated with a slice of garlic bread to mop up all the tomatoey juices.

Let’s get cooking…

Combine the butter, garlic and parsley in a bowl and mash together. Slice the baguette diagonally but not all the way through.

Using a teaspoon, spoon the butter mixture between each slice. Try to spread it out so that there are no dry spots of bread after baking. Sprinkle a little cheese between each slice and some over the top of the baguette.

Bake at 180 for 10-15 until the butter and cheese have melted and the bread is crisp

Use dairy free butter and cheese to make this vegan.
