Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Tomato and gigante bean bake/pizza beans

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I wouldn't repeat this. It burned in under two minutes and what was left was very salty. I didn't use the cheese, if that makes a difference.

    Amazing recipe. This was gone quite quickly at our table.

    I made this with partially pre-baked baguette. My garlic already got quite browned in the butter and burned a bit. Maybe next time I would just sprinkle in the raw garlic in the butter and let it bake afterwards. I also would reduce the salt next time as it was quite salty with the Parmesan. Besides that, quite nice with the beans. My toddler son also loved his first garlic bread.

    It’s garlic bread.

    This is my go to recipe as well! I use Aleppo pepper flakes and oregano Indio. Asiago makes a nice change from the parmesan or pecorino romano; or use a combination. Chives and parsley.

    It always seems weird to look up a recipe for garlic bread but I will say that this was really good. I used both optional ingredients (dried oregano & parmesan), parsley for the fresh herb & 1/2 recipe was the perfect amount for 2 Costco triangle ciabatta buns. This is definitely worth repeating.

    Quite good.

    Today I realized that I have inexplicably failed to introduce my kids to the pleasure of garlic bread. I made this bread tonight and they LOVE it. The recipe is simple and delicious. I plan to make it regularly.

    What's not to love about bread slathered in garlic butter and cheese, then broiled? This was delicious, and so quick and easy.
