Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.
COMMANDER'S GARLIC BREAD
This bread is served at Commander's Palace restaurant in New Orleans. The challenge is always not to eat too much of this before your dinners are served!It's that wonderful- Parmesean, dill-scented garlic bread! It goes great with almost every salad or soup- I especially like it with Commander's Seafood Gumbo. Make plenty, as it will disappear fast! Originally from the 1984 " The Commander's Palace New Orleans Cookbook".
