Bread and Spread

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the bread.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
