Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice baguette or loaf in half lengthwise and place cut-side up on baking sheet.

Spread garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are bubbling and golden.
