Almond Free Classic Garlic Bread
Few things at the dinner table disappear faster than a tray of perfectly golden, garlicky bread fresh from the broiler. This version keeps things beautifully simple — softened butter, fresh garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper spread generously over a halved baguette before it hits the heat. An optional dusting of Parmesan adds a savory, slightly nutty depth that takes it right over the top. The broiler does the heavy lifting in just a few minutes, crisping the edges while keeping the center soft and buttery underneath. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is straightforward, with no almond flour, almond extract, or nut-based spreads anywhere in sight. Store-bought garlic bread can sometimes sneak in unexpected additives or be produced on shared lines, so making it yourself is both safer and honestly more delicious. Slice it up and serve it immediately while it's still warm and crackling — it won't last long.
