Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Slice the sourdough French bread.
- Blend softened butter or margarine with minced garlic, minced parsley, and grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the bread slices.
- Broil until the slices are golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using garlic-infused butter instead of plain. You can also substitute the Romano or Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan version. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture. Ensure to watch the bread closely while broiling, as it can quickly go from golden to burnt.
