Ingredients

Roasted Garlic

1 garlic bulb
1 tbsp olive oil

Butter Spread

4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp mayo
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley reserve some for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Other

1 french loaf 12 ounces
1/3 cup Parmesan
2/3 cup mozzarella
2 tbsp Sweet chili sauce or hot honey drizzle optional, to serve

Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F for 35-40 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Make the Garlic Butter Spread: In a small bowl, mix roasted garlic cloves with butter, mayo, chopped parsley (reserving some for garnish), salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth.
Prepare the Bread: Slice the French loaf in half lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Spread and Top: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over both halves. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.
Bake to Perfection: Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until melted and golden. Broil for an extra 1–3 minutes for a bubbly, browned top.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with remaining parsley and drizzle lightly with sweet chili sauce or hot honey if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.

Freezing: Assemble but don’t bake. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen.

Ingredient Swap: Substitute Italian loaf, sourdough, or ciabatta if preferred. For extra richness, add a small spoonful of cream cheese to the spread.

Variations: Try it spicy with chili flakes, herby with Italian seasoning, or sweet-savory with truffle honey. You can also make mini versions using dinner rolls or baguette slices.
