5 Minute Garlic Bread

 Garlic, olive oil, and butter plus a little parmesan cheese make a tasty—and easy— garlic bread. 

Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 6-inch sub rolls, split lengthwise
  • olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • dried basil
  • freshly ground black pepper

Optional

  • fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Place bread cut-side down on a baking sheet. Toast lightly under the broiler, about two minutes. This step helps the bottom of the bread to crisp.

    Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool.

  2. Turn bread cut-side up. Brush bread lightly with olive oil. Spread with butter. Sprinkle garlic powder lightly onto the butter, about 1/8 teaspoon. Sprinkle one tablespoon of cheese evenly onto each bread.

    Top with a little dried basil and freshly ground black pepper.

  3. Broil until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown, about 2 minutes.

  4. Remove bread from the oven. Allow to cool for a minute. Cut into slices. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped basil and/or red pepper flakes on top.
