This recipe is taken from the garlic bread recipe on simplyrecipes.com, but I’ve altered a few things and changed the measurements into Aussie standards (metric) for my (and your?) convenience. I made this for a bunch of friends when we got together to play Dungeons & Dragons one autumn weeknight and it was all gobbled up :-)

Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)

• 1 x 450g French breadstick
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 heaped tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley (or use Gourmet Garden tube of pasley, available from Coles)
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Cut the bread in half, horizontally. Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley together in a small bowl. Spread butter mixture over the the two bread halves. Place on a baking tray and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.
3. Remove tray from oven. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over bread. Return to oven on the highest rack. Bake for approx. 3-4 mins until bread begin to toast and the cheese bubbles a little. Check on bread once a minute during this step to avoid it getting burnt.
4. Remove tray from oven, let cool a minute. Remove from tray and cut into thick slices. Serve immediately.
