By corlear

For decades, Brennan’s of Houston and Commander’s Palace have made guests smile by offering a plate of hot and toasty garlic bread before their meal!

Ingredients

• 1 fresh-baked French baguette
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Split loaf of bread lengthwise.

In a small bowl, blend cheese, garlic, parsley and salt; reserve.

Brush cut sides of loaf with butter; sprinkle generously with reserved cheese mixture. Place bread on a baking sheet; bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from oven; cut into desired size pieces.

Chef’s Tip: Substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder for fresh garlic.
