Ingredients
3 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely-chopped
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Slice the tops off of garlic heads so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes.
2. Slice the loaf of bread in half, horizontally, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
3. Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in the butter, salt, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of the bread.
4. Broil bread until toasted, about 5 minutes and sprinkle parsley on top and serve.
