Ingredients:

1 cup fresh parsley
60g
1/3 cup pine nuts
55g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 baguettes (french bread)
170g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Parsley Pesto:
- In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, pine nuts, grated parmesan cheese, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
- Add the softened butter to the food processor and blend until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture. This is your parsley pesto.
3. Prepare the Baguettes:
- Slice the baguettes in half horizontally, then cut each half into smaller pieces if desired, depending on the serving size you prefer.
- Spread the parsley pesto generously over the cut sides of the baguette pieces.
4. Bake the Garlic Breads:
- Place the pesto-covered baguette pieces on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the pesto is bubbly and fragrant.
5. Serve:
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish to your favorite meal.

Tips:

- Ensure the parsley is fresh for the best flavor.

- Toast the pine nuts lightly before blending to enhance their nutty flavor.

- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese for a richer taste.

- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.

- Spread the parsley pesto evenly on the baguettes for consistent flavor in each bite.

- For an extra crunchy texture, bake the bread a little longer.
