How to Make 3 Ingredient Garlic Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut a loaf of your favorite bread into thick slices (about 1 inch thick).
  4. Brush the garlic butter generously onto both cut sides of each bread slice.
  5. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes.
  7. Broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning, until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
