Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large French bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the French bread loaf into 1-inch thick diagonal slices and set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 20-30 seconds).
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Brush one side of each bread slice generously with the lemon-butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if you are using an outdoor grill.
Place the buttered side of the bread slices down onto the hot grill. Brush the top side with the remaining lemon-butter mixture.
Grill the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the edges are golden and crisp.
Remove from the grill and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a light squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
