GARLIC****OMG Garlic Bread

By Unblond1

15/01/16 - I thought this was pretty good. I served it on rosemary bread. Dan thought it had a "funny" taste but I served it with tilapia en papilotte so try it with something else before you give up on it for him.

I think this would also work on steamed veggies.

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (60 grams) grated Parmesan (grate in mini food processor)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation

Step 1

Place garlic and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook until garlic is tender and golden brown (15 - 18 minutes). If you notice the garlic is turning brown, but the cloves are not softening, turn heat down and continue cooking. Pour garlic and butter into a medium bowl and let cool until butter starts to solidify.

To the bowl with the garlic and butter, add Parmesan cheese, herbs, lemon zest, red pepper and pinch of salt. Using a fork, mash the ingredients to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Scrape into a container and refrigerate if using ahead, bringing back to room temperature for spreading.

Preheat broiler. Place desired bread on a baking sheet, and toast under the broiler until golden (about 2 minutes). Flip the slices, and broil the other side until golden (another 2 minutes). Remove the baking sheet from under the broiler, and let the bread cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slather the top of each slice of bread with the garlic-butter mixture, and return to the broiler. Cook until the cheese is golden and bubbling (about 2 minutes).
