FEEDS: 4-5

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 3 T. butter
• 3 T. good olive oil
• 5 cloves fresh crushed garlic
• Pinch of dried basil and oregano
• Dash of seasoned salt
• A loaf of great bread, preferably Italian

LET'S COOK

Place all ingredients, except the bread bread, in a small pot. Set it over a low flame and heat just until the butter melts and the garlic foams a bit in the mixture. Set it aside.

Slice the bread, lay it on an oven proof tray and using a brush slather it with the garlic, butter and oil mixture.

When dinner is ready to be served, slide the tray of bread under a preheated broiler and cook just until the surface of each slice is lightly browned and bubbly. Serve right away.

MORE IDEAS:

It’s important not to walk away from the broiler when you do this since it can burn the bread quickly if left unattended.

For even more flavor, dust the slathered slices with grated parmesan cheese before broiling. Or scatter the slices with a touch of grated mozzarella cheese, then broil.
