Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Italian bread for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a generous pinch of ground black pepper.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and smooth, with the garlic evenly distributed throughout.
- Give the spread a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more black pepper or even a pinch of salt if you prefer.
- Slice your Italian bread into thick pieces, about 1 inch each. This will allow for a perfect amount of spread on each slice.
- Take your Garlic Bread Spread and slather it generously on each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the surface well to ensure maximum flavor with each bite.
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy the warm, garlicky goodness on its own or as a delightful side to your favorite dishes.
