Tree Nut Free Classic Garlic Bread
Few things hit the table quite like a tray of golden, garlicky bread straight from the broiler — the kind that disappears before the main course even arrives. This version keeps things beautifully simple, leaning on softened butter, fresh garlic, and flat-leaf parsley to build real, honest flavor without any fuss. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought garlic breads and restaurant versions can be surprisingly risky thanks to shared fryers, flavored oils, or mystery seasoning blends — making a homemade batch the smartest move. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can serve it with total confidence. The optional Parmesan adds a savory, slightly crispy finish that takes the whole thing up a notch, but the base is already deeply satisfying on its own. Broiling rather than baking gives you that irresistible contrast — soft and buttery in the center, with edges that are just starting to caramelize and crisp. Slice it up and get it to the table fast, because it genuinely will not last long.
