  • Shape Loaf: Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the greased loaf pan.
  • Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). The juices should run clear.
  • Prepare Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then mix in additional Parmesan and parsley until the glaze thickens.
