EMERIL'S I LOVE GAAAAAHLIC GARLIC BREAD SPREAD
Emeril made this garlic bread on an episode about preparing foods kids like to eat. I made this and it definitely went over well with my family. I served this with Emeril's lasagna for a nice Italian meal with "kick." On the episode, he used his Creole Essence, but you can use any Cajun or Creole seasoning you prefer. You can make at least 2 loaves of garlic bread with the spread, depending upon how much you like to spread per loaf.

GARLIC BREAD SPREAD
Steps:
- Blend with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy (5 to 7 minutes). Add parsley flakes for color. Spread on French bread and broil until slightly browned. Keeps well in refrigerator for a long time.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic has a stronger and more robust flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic. It adds a distinct garlicky taste to the spread.
- Roast the Garlic: Roasting the garlic mellows its sharpness and brings out its natural sweetness. This step is optional but highly recommended for a more flavorful spread.
- Use Unsalted Butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the spread. This is especially important if you are using salted garlic powder or if you prefer a less salty spread.
- Let the Spread Cool: Before using the garlic bread spread, let it cool to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and the spread to thicken slightly, making it easier to spread.
- Use a Variety of Herbs: Feel free to experiment with different herbs to add more flavor to the spread. Some good options include parsley, chives, basil, oregano, and thyme.

With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this garlic bread spread is a versatile addition to any meal.
