Garlic Bread

This is really garlic toast, not garlic bread; but Gram always called it garlic bread and so do we. It is an excellent accompaniment to hot dishes such as chili or soups, or salads or any pasta or casserole.

 

INGREDIENTS:

– 1 stick butter, room temperature
– 3 large cloves of garlic, peeled and minced through a garlic press
– sliced sourdough bread

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix butter and garlic with a fork.
  2. Spread onto slices of sourdough bread and place on a foil covered cookie sheet.
  3. Put cookie sheet under broiler and WATCH CAREFULLY until lightly toasted.

Serve right away.

NOTES:

It’s a good idea to have lots of bread and garlic butter on hand. I am a very good cook, but I do forget about the bread once I close the oven door and burn it about half the time.
