Cashew Free Classic Garlic Bread
Few things hit the way warm, garlicky bread straight from the oven does, and this version delivers that golden, bubbling crust with beautifully simple ingredients. Softened butter gets loaded up with fresh minced garlic, flat-leaf parsley, salt, and pepper before being spread edge to edge across a halved baguette — no shortcuts, no fillers. A quick run under the broiler transforms it into something crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and deeply fragrant throughout. An optional dusting of Parmesan before broiling adds a savory, slightly nutty finish that takes it over the top. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, this recipe is naturally free of any cashew-based spreads or nut-derived butters that sometimes sneak into restaurant or store-bought versions. Everything here is straightforward and easy to verify — real butter, fresh garlic, a handful of pantry staples. Slice it up and serve it immediately while it's still hot, because it genuinely does not last long.
