Eggless Classic Garlic Bread
Few things hit the table with as much crowd-pleasing confidence as a perfectly broiled slice of garlic bread — golden at the edges, bubbling in the middle, and fragrant enough to pull everyone into the kitchen before it's even plated. This version keeps things beautifully simple: softened butter, fresh garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper spread generously over a split baguette and finished under the broiler. There's no egg in sight, which makes it a natural fit for anyone navigating that restriction without any substitutions or workarounds needed. The optional Parmesan scattered on top before broiling adds a salty, nutty depth that takes the whole thing to another level. Watching it closely under the broiler is the one non-negotiable step — you want that gorgeous golden color without crossing into burnt territory, and the difference is only a minute or two. Slice it up with a serrated knife and serve it immediately while the butter is still sizzling into the bread. It's the kind of side dish that disappears faster than anything else on the table.
