Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 fresh baguette or Italian loaf
Butter and Garlic
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or herbs, chopped
- Salt, a pinch
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh or thawed corn kernels
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette or loaf into thick slices or cut lengthwise to maximize surface area for toppings.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, soften the butter then mix in minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and chopped parsley or herbs until well combined.
- Spread the Butter on the Bread: Generously coat each bread slice evenly with the garlic butter mixture to ensure flavorful and moist bites.
- Add Corn and Cheese: Scatter fresh or thawed corn kernels evenly over each slice, then cover with a generous layer of shredded cheese for gooey deliciousness.
- Bake Until Golden and Melty: Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden. For an extra golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic and corn for the best flavor.
- Do not overload toppings to avoid soggy bread and maintain crispiness.
- Preheat oven to ensure crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freeze wrapped slices up to 1 month; thaw before reheating.
- Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, avoiding microwave to keep crisp texture.
