Ingredients

• 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large loaf French bread, halved lengthwise

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (Bread can also be done on the grill or in a barbeque pit.)

Combine the butter, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Stir to blend well. Spread both halves of the bread with the mixture. Put the halves together, wrap in a sheet of aluminum foil, and place in the oven or on the grill until bread is heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Reserve leftover bread for croutons.
