Ingredients
- 1 loaf (about 16 ounces) soft Italian or French bread, halved lengthwise
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated or minced (or sub with about ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste)
- 1 heaping tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley (or sub with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes)
- Optional: grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, stir together butter, garlic, and parsley.
- Place bread, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Spread each half of bread with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown. Cut into pieces and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a large, soft loaf of Italian or French bread. I find that a baguette gets too crunchy when toasted.
- Use a microplane to grate the garlic cloves (or press to a fine mince). This helps evenly distribute the garlic throughout the spread so that you don't bite into a large chunk of garlic on your toast.
- Herbs: The parsley here is optional. If you don't have fresh parsley, substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes, or omit the parsley altogether. You can also try adding other herbs that you enjoy, such as thyme, oregano, chives, or basil.
- Bake half of a loaf now, and save the other half in the freezer for another meal. It's like two for the price of one! You don't even have to thaw the frozen bread before baking it.
