Ingredients
Scale
Herb Butter Spread
- 1/4 cup Country Crock® Spread (or your favorite butter substitute)
- 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped herbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Bread
- 1 (12-ounce) loaf of French or Italian bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven: Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler to get it ready for baking the bread.
- Make the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the Country Crock® Spread, mixed dried herbs, and garlic powder to create a flavorful herb butter spread.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the French or Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves flat side up on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the herb butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
- Broil the Bread: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and broil the bread for about 2 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, slice it into serving portions, and serve warm alongside your favorite meals.
Notes
- Keep a close eye while broiling to avoid burning the bread since broiler intensity varies.
- Substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs at a ratio of one tablespoon fresh to one teaspoon dried for a brighter flavor.
- Use any favorite butter substitute or real butter according to dietary preference.
- This bread is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated quickly in the oven if needed.
