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 your oven’s broiler to get it ready for cooking.
- Make the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the Country Crock® Spread, mixed dried herbs, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves. Place the halves cut side up on a baking sheet and spread the herb butter mixture evenly over each surface.
- Broil the Bread: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil the bread for about 2 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, slice it into servings, and serve warm alongside your favorite meals.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the bread while broiling as it can burn quickly.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
- For a richer taste, you can substitute the butter substitute with regular butter.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
