Bread: Straightforward Parmesan Herb Garlic

Not a fan of store-bought garlic bread? Me either. This Unfussy Parmesan Herb Garlic Bread is not only speedy to whip up but also incredibly delicous. A speedy compound butter consisting of fresh garlic, herbs, a touch of mayo and grated parmesan is smeared onto thick slices of italian bread and baked until crispy and golden. Ready in minutes to serve with your regular soup or pasta dish!

Unfussy is the name of this game and once you see how short you can prep kitchen-made garlic bread, you will never buy store-bout again.

This method came to be when I needed something to go with a soup I make on the reg. A dipper, but not only hunks of bread. Although any form of bread is never a bad idea. But this particular tomato based soup (a recipe I will be sharing next week) needed something extra special. And these are sturdy enough to dip into soup or stew and the flavor is ridiculously savory.

For this Straightforward Parmesan Herb Garlic Bread Set out:

• softened unsalted butter
• garlic
• freshly grated parmesan cheese
• mayonnaise
• parsley
• snipped fresh chives
• kosher salt
• a loaf Italian bread

Preheat your oven to 475℉ (or 245℃).

In a small mixing bowl, measure and add in 1 stick softened unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon freshly grated garlic, 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

You can get pre-grated garlic in squeeze tubes at most grocery stores, which saves so much time!

Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Slice the loaf into 8 thick pieces. Hopefully you won’t get one with a whole in the middle.:/

Slather a generous amount on each slice

Slide the pan onto the middle rack f your preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden, crispy.

Rotate the pan halfway through baking.

I wish you could smell these!
