Mushroom Free Garlic Bread
Warm, golden, and fragrant with real garlic and fresh parsley, this is the kind of garlic bread that makes everything else on the table feel like a supporting act. The butter gets mixed with minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and a little black pepper before being spread generously across a halved baguette — simple ingredients doing serious work. A two-stage bake first steams the bread under a foil tent, then finishes it uncovered so the edges crisp up and the butter bubbles across the surface in the most satisfying way. Optional Parmesan and red pepper flakes let you dial up the richness or the heat depending on your mood. Every ingredient here is completely transparent, so there's no guesswork about what's hiding in the spread — just butter, garlic, herbs, and bread. Slice it into thick pieces and serve it straight from the cutting board while it's still hot, because it genuinely doesn't last long.
