# Ingredients List:

01 - 8 to 10 garlic cloves, peeled
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - Pinch of salt

→ Garlic Butter Custard

04 - Roasted garlic (from previous step)
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1/4 cup whole milk
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Assembly

11 - 12 King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls, intact in full sheet form or one French baguette of similar size
12 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
14 - Chili flakes, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in a small oven-safe pot with a lid or cover with foil. Roast for 20 minutes until soft and golden. Mash with a fork and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and chopped parsley. Whisk thoroughly to form a uniform mixture.
03 - Lower oven temperature to 350°F. Using a sharp knife, cut the bread sheet or baguette horizontally into two halves. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
04 - Transfer garlic butter custard to a large pan. Dip each toasted bread half into the custard, ensuring all surfaces are well coated.
05 - Return coated bread halves to the baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes until golden.
06 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the bread. Switch oven setting to broil. Broil for approximately 5 minutes until cheese is melted and develops a golden crust.
07 - Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chili flakes. Slice and serve promptly.

# Extra Information:

01 - Ensure the bread is well toasted before dipping to prevent sogginess and achieve an optimal crisp exterior.
