Bread spread? help??

Question

I'm making a bread spread for pasta and garlic bread dinner tonight.
So far i mixed chopped garlic
chopped basil
some salt
with the butter. just regular butter. i have a feeling it might need more.
ingredients i have that might go good : mushrooms
sugar
pepper
cajon seasoning
greek salad peppers
romano cheese
lemon juice
can any of these be used in the butter spread?
How should i use it ?
thanks for your help..

Answer 1

I find that if you put too much in a spread it overpowers it.
for a garlic spread I use
1/2 pound of softened butter
1 head of roasted garlic
1 tablespoon of grainy dijon mustard
worcestershire sauce to taste
and a little hit of Frank's hot sauce

Answer 2

What you should do is mix your garlic and butter and spread it on the bread - then top with the cheese and bake it until crunchy.
Why ruin the bread with all the other stuff?
If you want something to dip your bread into, then try an olive oil. Like what you get at Johnny Carinos or any Italian place. Not sure what all it has in it, but garlic and olive oil, I know.
Let me see if I can find a recipe for it.
I will be back

Answer 3

French Bread can also be used

Garlic Bread
Yield: 4 servings

2 (4-inch) whole-wheat pita breads
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, peeled and halved
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Position rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat broiler. With a small knife, cut a slit about 2 inches long in the side of both pitas. With your fingers, pry apart the 2 pita halves. If the pita is being stubborn, microwave it for about 30 seconds to soften it up. Lightly brush the rough side of the 4 pita halves with olive oil and then rub with the garlic clove. Cut each pita into quarters.

Arrange the pitas in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Evenly sprinkle the pitas with the Parmesan, salt, paprika, and oregano. Place under the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Answer 4

I think what you have so far sounds good to me for a spread on garlic toast and I would not add anything else, but you can go further. For me garlic toast was just toast, butter, and some garlic powder. Just plain butter is fine.

Answer 5

DON"T put cajun seasoning on garlic bread.....
I have a better idea

Mix the butter (softened) with the garlic, basil, and romano.

Leave out all that other stuff. Please.

Answer 10

What you have now is PERFECT, don't mess with it! Spread the bread with it and toast lightly in broiler just befor serving. Remember the K.I.S.S. principle, Keep It Simple Stupid! No personal insult intended here, just a good principle to remember.
