Bread

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation of Garlic Butter

  1. 1

    Soften the Butter

    Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes until it becomes soft and spreadable.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley

    Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, pat dry, and then chop it finely.

  4. 4

    Mix the Garlic Butter

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Bread Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the loaf of French bread and slice it in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet with the cut side facing up.

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Using a butter knife, generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves.

Toasting

  1. 8
