Notes

  • This way of cooking it gives you a crunchy outside and soft inside. If you want an all around soft put the two halves together and wrap fully in foil
  • The shredded Parmesan cheese does get a little crunchy. If you don't like that texture add it five minutes before cooking or skip all together
  • Do use real butter. It gives such a better flavor than a butter substitute such as margarine.
  • Buy fresh french or Italian bread. If anything prepare the garlic bread without cooking and freeze it.
  • If you want a little pop of color to this add some fresh chopped parsley to the mixture.
