GARLIC BREAD
6 servings
Serve this extra buttery, extra garlicky bread alongside spaghetti with tomato sauce—perhaps with Italian Meatballs. Any leftovers make deluxe croutons for a Caesar salad.
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler.
Cut in half horizontally:
- 1 baguette
Combine in a small saucepan:
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated on a rasp grater
Heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the garlic sizzles, about 1 minute. Place the baguette on a baking sheet, cut sides up, and brush with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with:
- ¼ cup minced parsley
- 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
Broil until the bread is lightly toasted. To serve, cut into pieces.
