Description

This easy homemade garlic bread spread is a flavorful addition to any meal. With a perfect blend of garlic, butter, and Parmesan, this spread takes regular bread to a whole new level of deliciousness.


Ingredients

Garlic Butter Spread:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Additional:

  • 1 loaf Italian or French bread

Instructions

  1. Making Garlic Butter Spread: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix until fully combined and creamy.
  2. Preparing Bread: Cut the bread loaf lengthwise and spread the garlic butter generously onto both halves.
  3. Baking: Place bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden and toasted.
  4. Serving: Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispy garlic bread, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • You can store leftover garlic spread in the fridge for up to one week.
