Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Slice the loaf of bread diagonally into 1-inch-thick slices. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the butter (softened) and olive oil.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Add both to the butter mixture along with the salt, and mix thoroughly until smooth.
Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Place 2–3 slices of buttered bread onto the skillet, buttered side down. Toast for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
Flip the bread and lightly toast the unbuttered side for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Remove the toasted garlic bread slices and repeat with the remaining bread.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
