Ingredients:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
-
Prepare Bread: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the loaf of bread diagonally into 1-inch slices, being careful not to slice all the way through the bottom, keeping the loaf intact.
-
Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and margarine together. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Brush Bread with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of each slice of bread, ensuring the mixture gets into the crevices.
-
Wrap and Bake: Carefully wrap the loaf of bread in foil, ensuring it is fully covered. Place the wrapped loaf on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the edges are crispy.
-
Serve: Once baked, carefully unwrap the foil from the bread and transfer it to a serving platter. Serve warm, allowing everyone to pull apart the slices and enjoy the irresistible flavors of lemon and garlic-infused butter.
This Lemon Garlic Bread is perfect for serving alongside pasta dishes, soups, or simply enjoying as a delicious appetizer. With its vibrant flavors and simple preparation, it’s sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy! ππ₯
