02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - Pinch of salt

→ Garlic Butter Custard

04 - Roasted garlic (prepared from above)
05 - ½ cup melted butter (113g)
06 - 1 egg
07 - ¼ cup milk (60g)
08 - ½ tsp salt
09 - ½ tsp paprika
10 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

→ Assembly

11 - 12 King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls or French baguette of similar size
12 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - Chopped parsley for serving
14 - Chili flakes for serving

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix the peeled garlic cloves with olive oil and salt. Transfer to a mini oven-safe pot with a lid or cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes until soft and golden. Mash with a fork and set aside.
02 - Add the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and parsley to a bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
03 - Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F after roasting the garlic. Use a sharp knife to slice the sheet of bread rolls into halves horizontally. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until light golden and crispy.
04 - Dip the baked bread halves into the garlic butter custard, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Place the coated bread back on the baking sheet.
05 - Bake the bread at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until golden. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and set the oven to broil (or grill) for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
06 - Garnish the bread with fresh parsley and chili flakes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the bread is well coated with the garlic butter custard for maximum flavor.
