Description
Simple recipe for thick, buttery garlic bread resembling Texas Toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf thick-sliced white bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Place the bread slices, butter-side up, on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the butter is melted and bubbly.
- For crispier tops, switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use frozen garlic cubes if fresh garlic is unavailable.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over the butter before baking.
- If you prefer a softer texture, wrap the bread loosely in foil before baking for the first 10 minutes, then unwrap to brown the tops.
