Ingredients
-
1 loaf French bread or Italian bread, sliced in half lengthwise
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
-
In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
-
Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
-
Place bread cut side down directly on the grill grates.
-
Grill for 2–4 minutes until toasted with visible grill marks. Watch closely to avoid burning.
-
Flip and grill for 1–2 additional minutes if desired for extra crispiness.
-
Remove from grill, sprinkle with Parmesan if using, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
-
Use a grill mat to prevent garlic pieces from falling through the grates.
-
For a spicy variation, add red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
-
Delicious alongside grilled meats, pasta dishes, or fresh salads.
-
For extra crispiness, lightly brush bread with olive oil before applying the butter.
