Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons chopped oregano
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 baguette sliced in half lengthwise, then crosswise

Steps:

  • Cook cloves from 1 head garlic in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a small covered saucepan over medium-low heat until golden brown and very soft, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool.
  • Add 1 cup grated Parmesan, 2 teaspoons chopped oregano, 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to garlic and mash to a paste; season with salt.
  • Heat broiler. Slice a baguette in half lengthwise, then crosswise. Broil, cut side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 2 minutes (watch carefully). Let cool slightly, then spread cut side with garlic paste. Broil until cheese is golden and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Slice.
