1
Put butter in a bowl and add garlic.
-
2
Mix well.
-
3
Add more garlic if you wish.
-
4
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
-
5
Mixture should be thick and chunky.
-
6
If you like the taste of any of the ingredients, like parmesan, feel free to add more of it as desired.
-
7
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes or more to absorb flavors.
-
8
Cut French loaf into slices.
-
9
For these measurements, it covers about 6 or 7 slices.
-
10
Spread garlic butter mix generously on each slice.
-
11
Put slices on cookie sheet or cooking stone (I use the latter as it cooks more evenly).
-
12
Preheat broiler and place oven rack in middle of oven.
-
13
I use the low broiler setting (my oven has choice of high/low).
-
14
Broil 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread as each oven is different.
-
15
Bread should be toasted around the crust and the garlic butter mixture bubbly with cheese melted.
-
16
I have never tried it, but I'm sure you can slice the loaf in half, spread the mixture, broil and slice after.
-
17
If your broiler is too hot, to prevent the bread from burning, cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes, remove foil and broil an additional 2 or 3 minutes so the butter mix has time to cook while not burning the bread.
-
18
Keep an eye on them as they broil to prevent burning.
-
19
Serve with pasta and enjoy!
