Crisp Rosemary-Parmesan Garlic Bread image

In summer, this bread can be cooked on the grill; in cold weather, it's just as good prepared in the oven. From Bon Appetit, July 1998.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese (about 3 1/2 oz)
5 large garlic cloves, minced
1 baguette, halved lengthwise, then crosswise (4 pieces total)

Steps:

  • 1. Score each piece of bread diagonally 3/4 inch deep at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
  • 2. Blend butter and rosemary in processor. Gradually add oil and process until incorporated. Mix in Parmesan cheese. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • 3. Mix in garlic. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat oven to 400°F. Spread cheese mixture over cut sides of bread.
  • 4. If grilling, wrap each piece of bread loosely in foil. Grill in foil until bread is crusty and golden, about 8 minutes.
  • 5. If baking, place bread cut side up on baking sheet. Bake until bread is crisp and golden around edges, about 10 minutes.
  • 6. Serve bread warm.
