Prepare the Ranch Butter Spread
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter and the ranch dressing mix. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This will create a creamy, flavorful ranch butter spread for the bread. -
Spread on the Bread
Take your bread halves and spread the ranch butter evenly over the top of each half. Make sure to coat the bread generously with the butter mixture for maximum flavor. -
Grill the Bread
Place the bread under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the butter begins to bubble and seep into the bread. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. -
Serve Hot
Once the bread is golden and sizzling, remove it from the broiler. Slice it into smaller pieces if desired, and serve while hot. You can also add cheese before grilling for a cheesy variation, or serve alongside a grilled chicken sandwich for a delicious pairing.
Serving Suggestions
Grilled Ranch Bread is best served immediately after grilling while the bread is warm and crispy. It makes a perfect snack, side dish, or a fun and easy addition to a BBQ meal. Pair it with grilled meats, like barbecued chicken or burgers, for a satisfying and flavor-packed meal.
