Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix the peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and salt. Place the garlic mixture in a mini oven-safe pot with a lid (or cover with foil). Roast for about 20 minutes, until soft and golden. Once done, mash the garlic and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and chopped parsley. Whisk until fully combined.
Change the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Slice the bread rolls into two halves. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until light golden and crispy.
Transfer the garlic butter custard to a larger pan. Dip the baked bread sheets into the custard, ensuring they’re well coated. Place the bread back on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.
Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese. Switch to broil mode and broil for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
Garnish with chopped parsley and chili flakes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier version, add chili powder or red pepper flakes to the garlic butter custard.
Try mixing in other cheeses such as cheddar or parmesan for a different flavor profile.
This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based butter and an egg substitute.
If you don’t have a broil function, bake the bread for an extra 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze individual slices for later use.
