Homemade Garlic Bread

The first time I tried garlic bread was when we arrived in USA. Before this I had no exposure to any foreign cuisines except the indian version of chinese we used to eat at larries (I used to love it I must say). We used to eat garlic bread generally as a snack whenever we were hungry...but the ones we used to buy from Walmart had a huge amount of butter in it. So I wanted to try making some of my own as I liked its taste.

Ingredients:

1. Unsalted Butter
2. Fresh garlic pods.
3. 2 green chillies ( optional).
4. Parsley , oregano , dill or any other herb.
5. Fresh French Bread Slices.
6. Pestle.
7. foil Tray.
8. Oven.

Method:

Herb Butter:

1. Crush the garlic pods , chillies and few strands of parsley or dill or oregano using a pestle.
2. mix this paste with the room temperature butter to make herb butter.
3. Add salt if you want.(optional)
   

Garlic Bread:

1. Preheat the oven at 450 degrees .
2. Spread the herb butter on one side of each slice of french bread.
3. arrange it on buttered bread slice on the foil tray.
4. heat it in the oven for about 5 - 10 min .
5. if you want to get the browning on the top fast just keep the oven in the broil mode just for 30 -45 secs otherwise the slices will burn.
6. Take out and serve with soup or pasta.
