Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large French baguette or Italian bread loaf
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Yellow food coloring or turmeric (for Minions’ color)
- Minions-shaped cheese or edible decorations (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring or turmeric to create a vibrant Minions-inspired garlic spread. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Slice the baguette into 1 to 1.5-inch thick pieces. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on each bread slice. Optional: sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each slice for an cheesy version.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbly if used. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Optional: Decorate the garlic bread with Minions-themed cheese shapes or edible images using edible markers or small cookie cutters for a fun, playful appearance.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch dip, or side salad. Garnish with Minions-themed decorations if desired.
Notes
- For an extra colorful Minions look, add more yellow food coloring or turmeric to the garlic spread.
- You can prepare the garlic spread in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until crispy.
- Use edible images or cookie cutters to create Minions faces for a more interactive presentation.
