Mustard Free Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread sounds simple, but getting it just right — properly golden, fragrant, and buttery all the way to the edges — takes a little technique. This version delivers exactly that, with a rich compound butter made from softened unsalted butter, fresh minced garlic, and flat-leaf parsley spread generously over a halved baguette before it hits the broiler. The high heat does the heavy lifting fast, creating that irresistible bubbling surface and lightly crisped edges in just a few minutes. An optional scatter of Parmesan before broiling adds a savory, nutty depth that takes it over the top. For anyone navigating a mustard sensitivity, this recipe is a genuinely safe and satisfying choice — every ingredient is straightforward, with no condiments or spice blends that commonly sneak mustard in. It's the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else, so consider making two.
