Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the garlic bread toasts evenly.

Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Finely mince the fresh garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in the bowl, mixing until well combined.
