c) In a small bowl, combine the garlic and the olive oil (see pantry for amount). Season generously with salt and pepper.

a) Once baked, remove the garlic baguette halves from the oven and divide the creamy cheese mixture evenly over each half.
b) Divide the cooked bacon over the top of the cheese mixture, then sprinkle over the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano and cracked black pepper.
c) Pop back into the oven until melted and golden, 8-10 mins, then transfer to a sharing platter to serve.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: A tasty alternative to cheese on toast, this dish pairs well with pasta meals.
- Ease of prep: Adding more garlic and oil can help soften the bread for a better texture.
- Suggestions: Consider thickening the cheese sauce to prevent it from sliding off the bread. Try roasting the bacon on top of the cheese mixture for extra crispiness.
