Simple Garlic(and cheese) Bread for new years!

I was tasked with making garlic bread for new years(last minute). Quickly looked at a couple of recipes and tried a quick batch which tasted amazing, and I just wanted to share this last-minute simple recipe for garlic bread for those who need for new years:

~1 Baguette or 6-8 bread slices(sourdough or other "artisinal" bread preferred)

~50g butter

2 garlic cloves Grated Parmesan/Cheese of choice (Västerbottensost in my case, basically local aged cheese/parmesan)

Salt to taste(if unsalted butter, cheese will provide salt either way)

Parsley(roughly chopped) to taste/look (not needed, but makes it look/taste extra fancy)


Oven 225° C / 440 Fahrenheit

Mix butter + minced/grated/pressed garlic + parsley + salt(if unsalted butter) with fork(just use the fork ends, don't press too much for easy mixing)

Split bread in half lengthwise + cut bread partially diagonally (for easy breaking later)

Spread Mixed Butter on bread (bread - room temp, butter - room or fridge temp)

Top off with pinch of kosher-ish salt flakes + cheese(cover + more)


5-10minutes or til crispy looking


Just have an eye on the bread until the cheese starts going brown, that's when it's done. Crispy AF bread, and nice and garlicy flavour.

Dip in aioli(recipe not provided, or needed honestly) or dip of choice.

If you're in a hurry, mix the butter before arriving at party, put the cheese in a container/bag, and when at the party, start the oven least 30+ minutes before serving and it's all a breeze from then on.

Hope this helps, and have a happy new century!



bon appetit
