Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise and place each half on a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, olive oil, basil, oregano, parmesan, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix it well.
  • Spread the butter in a generous, even layer on each half of the French bread.
  • Put the baking sheet underneath the broiler in the oven. Broil until it just starts to brown. Watch it closely because how fast it cooks is dependent on how hot your broiler is and how close your rack is to the heating element. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
  • Devour.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: For the best garlic bread, start with high-quality ingredients, including fresh bread, real butter, and fresh garlic. This will make a big difference in the final flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination. Some popular choices include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the garlic bread, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Brush with Butter: Before baking the garlic bread, brush the top with melted butter. This will help the bread to brown and add extra flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Garlic bread is best served immediately after it is baked. This will ensure that the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.
