Would someone please help me make a garlic spread?

Question

My kids are very fond of garlic toast. However, the cost of garlic spreads are quite a strain on our budget. I suppose it would be cheaper to make the spread myself.

Answer 1

The best garlic spread youll ever eat!

1 cup of REAL butter not the fake stuff, softened (the sticks)
3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 a cup of FRESHLY grated Parmasean cheese

Incorporate all the ingriedients together in a serving bowl, by stirring, or use a prosessor on a low speed. Let it stand covered in room temperature until youre ready to serve, about 1 hour is good. Do not refrigerate if youre going to use it soon, as it will harden and be unspreadable.

For garlic bread, get a loaf of sourdough, or french bread untoasted. Slice the loaf, on a slant to the size of pieces you like, NOT cutting all the way through. You want sections. Fill the sections using a spoon , with the spread, Wrap the loaf in a piece of foil, leaving the top agape, open in a V, and bake for about 10 minutes, or so until the top is brown. You can just tear off pieces, not have to cut them, the butter and spread will have seeped in to the bread. Oh Yum! Im hungry now! LOL

Answer 3

The cheapest way to make garlic bread that tastes good is this:
Use whatever bread you have available.
Take softened margarine and alot of garlic powder and mix til smooth. Put it on the bread and bake.
You can add a lil parsley for some nice color but generally the kids will love it like above.

Answer 6

Mine is much easier-- Spray butter-- I use olive oil in a sprayer-- garlic salt-- spray bread with butter or oil, sprinkle with garlic salt. Put in toaster oven and toast.
If you want less salt-- add garlic powder to the garlic salt and shake well--
