Roasted Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 3 bulbs garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Italian bread, 1 loaf
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs so that the tip of each clove is exposed. Place the bulbs on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, or until garlic is soft.

2. 2

   Set the oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally, and place cut side up on a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in the butter, parsley, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of the bread.

4. 4

   Broil for about 5 minutes, until toasted.
