Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic , peeled and minced or pressed
- ½ cup salted butter , softened
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 loaf Italian or French bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, mix the pressed garlic with the softened butter, olive oil, grated Parmesan, parsley, and kosher salt until smooth.
- Cut the bread in half lengthwise and spread each cut side with the garlic butter. Place the two pieces on a sheet pan or directly on an oven rack, cut side up, and bake until toasted, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut into 2-inch pieces, and serve warm.
Notes
The butter mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 months. Bring the butter to room temperature before spreading on the bread.
If you're not a fan of parsley, feel free to use fresh basil or oregano, rosemary, or an Italian seasoning blend.
