Walnut 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 exactly what that craving is calling for. A generous spread of softened butter blended with fresh garlic, flat-leaf parsley, salt, and pepper gets slathered across a halved baguette and slid under the broiler until it's bubbling and beautifully bronzed at the edges. The optional Parmesan adds a salty, nutty depth that takes the whole thing over the top without complicating the process at all. Because the ingredient list is so clean and straightforward, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your bread basket. The broiler does the heavy lifting in just a few minutes, so this is the kind of recipe you can pull together while the rest of dinner finishes up. Slice it crosswise with a serrated knife and serve it immediately — that first bite, when the crust shatters and the garlic butter is still sizzling, is genuinely hard to beat.
