Boursin garlic bread
My favourite garlic bread to datet!
Everyone loves a good garlic bread so I am always trying to come up with new recipe variations to keep things interesting. And I think this may be my favourite recipe so far! The creamy Boursin cheese adds a delicious garlic and herb flavour that is truly enhanced with the roasted garlic and fresh parsley.
This garlic bread is so versatile you can have it as a side with some soup or stew for a cozy night in or as an appetizer for a dinner party. I guarantee it will be a crowd pleaser!

Method
Roast the garlic head by drizzling with olive oil, cutting the top off with a knife, wrapping it in tin foil and baking for 40min at 180C in a pre-heated oven. Once baked let it cool down and it should be soft enough that

Cut your bread loaf in half and drizzle with a bit of olive oil (or alternatively a thin layer of butter) then spread a generous layer of the Boursin mix. Top with as much shredded mozzarella as you want. Transfer to a baking pan covered with parchment paper
Bake in a preheated at 185C until the cheese has melted and become golden brown (about 14-18 min). Alternatively you can use your airfryer at 160C for 12-14min.
