Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F.

Peel garlic bulb until you're left with the skins of the individual cloves. Slice off the top of the bulb, so that the tip of each clove is removed. Drizzle and rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil, and roast in oven for 30-40 min, until cloves are golden, and papery skins are browned. Cool.

Squeeze cloves into a bowl, and mix with butter.

Spread garlic butter on bread halves, top with freshly cracked pepper, broil until it just begins to brown.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and broil until cheese melts.

Slice garlic bread into thin slices, sprinkle with parsley.
