Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf French bread
Cheese Mixture
- 1/3 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried parsley)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Slice the bread: Cut the French bread into 8 equal slices and arrange them on a baking sheet to prepare for topping.
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and Gorgonzola cheese until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley to evenly combine the flavors.
- Spread mixture on bread slices: Evenly spread the Gorgonzola butter mixture over each French bread slice. Sprinkle a light layer of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top to add extra flavor and a crispy finish.
- Broil the bread: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler and watch closely as the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful to avoid burning.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the bread while broiling to prevent it from burning.
- You can substitute dried parsley if fresh is not available, though fresh parsley provides a brighter flavor.
- Use salted butter to enhance the overall taste without adding extra salt.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Gorgonzola cheese slightly.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh and warm right out of the oven.
