| 1. Put butter in a bowl and add garlic. | 2. Mix well. | 3. Add more garlic if you wish. | 4. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. | 5. Mixture should be thick and chunky. | 6. If you like the taste of any of the ingredients, like parmesan, feel free to add more of it as desired. | 7. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes or more to absorb flavors. | 8. Cut French loaf into slices. | 9. For these measurements, it covers about 6 or 7 slices. | 10. Spread garlic butter mix generously on each slice. | 11. Put slices on cookie sheet or cooking stone (I use the latter as it cooks more evenly). | 12. Preheat broiler and place oven rack in middle of oven. | 13. I use the low broiler setting (my oven has choice of high/low). | 14. Broil 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the bread as each oven is different. | 15. Bread should be toasted around the crust and the garlic butter mixture bubbly with cheese melted. | 16. I have never tried it, but I'm sure you can slice the loaf in half, spread the mixture, broil and slice after. | 17. If your broiler is too hot, to prevent the bread from burning, cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes, remove foil and broil an additional 2 or 3 minutes so the butter mix has time to cook while not burning the bread. | 18. Keep an eye on them as they broil to prevent burning. | 19. Serve with pasta and enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
