Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 1 (14 oz.) loaf Italian 
• bread, halved lengthwise 
• 1 stick (1/4 lb.) unsalted butter 
• 8 garlic cloves, finely chopped 
• Salt and pepper 
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan 

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange bread, cut side up, on baking sheet.
2. Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add garlic, salt, pepper and oregano; cook, stirring once or twice, until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Use a pastry brush to spread garlic butter evenly over bread. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake until bread is golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut loaf halves into thick slices and serve.
