Sauce Pan

Ingredients

1 baguette of choice such as French, Italian or sourdough (I halved my baguette so it would fit on my serving board; you can keep yours whole)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the baguette crosswise (without cutting all the way through), making several slices from one end to the other, about 1 inch apart.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Whisk the garlic into the butter. Brush the butter in between the slices of the bread, coating both sides. Insert one piece of mozzarella cheese between each slice of bread.
Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 10 minutes. Unwrap and bake for 5 more minutes, until the top is crisp and golden. Top with parsley before serving, if desired.
