Macadamia Free Classic Garlic Bread
Few things hit the table quite like a basket of golden, garlicky bread fresh from the oven — and this version is as straightforward and satisfying as it gets. The base is a crusty baguette loaded with a compound butter made from softened unsalted butter, freshly minced garlic, flat-leaf parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper, so every bite is rich and herbaceous. An optional dusting of Parmesan before broiling adds a nutty, savory finish that takes the whole thing up a notch. The broiler does the heavy lifting here, turning the cut surface golden and bubbling in just a few minutes — which means you need to stay close and keep an eye on it, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. Everything in this recipe is clean and familiar, with no specialty ingredients or hidden additives to second-guess. It pairs beautifully with pasta, soups, or honestly just a glass of wine on its own. Slice it up and serve it immediately while the butter is still sizzling into all those crispy edges.
