🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (grill if available). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut bread into 12 slices of 2 cm. Bake for 3-4 min until lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Melt butter over low heat. Add chopped garlic and infuse for 2 min without browning. Off heat, add half the parsley, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Brush each bread slice with garlic butter. Spread grated mozzarella evenly. Drizzle with olive oil (optional).

  4. 4

    Return tray under the grill (or at 220°C) for 6-8 min, until mozzarella is melty and golden and edges are crispy.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with remaining fresh parsley and serve immediately while cheese is hot and stringy.

Tips & Tricks
  • Pre-toasting: Crucial for a crispy base under the moist topping.
  • Garlic butter: Do not brown the garlic to avoid bitterness. A low-heat infusion is enough.
  • Mozzarella: Use a "dry" mozzarella (for pizza) or drain a fresh ball well.
  • Monitoring: Under the grill, watch the last 2 minutes to avoid burning.
