Ingredients:
1 French baguette
200g mozzarella cheese
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the French baguette into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick. Finely chop the garlic cloves and fresh parsley. Grate the mozzarella cheese and set all the ingredients aside.
Step 2: Making the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic butter from the heat and set it aside.
Step 3: Assembling the Bread Bites
Take each slice of the baguette and generously brush one side with the garlic butter mixture. Place the slices, buttered side up, on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure the pieces are spaced apart to allow the cheese to melt evenly.
Step 4: Adding the Mozzarella
Now, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the buttered side of each bread slice. Be generous with the cheese, as it will melt and create a gooey topping that adds a rich and indulgent touch to the bites.
Step 5: Baking and Serving
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the bread bites for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. The melted mozzarella garlic bread bites are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them as a standalone snack or as a delicious side dish to complement soups, salads, or pasta dishes.
