Yields8 Servings

1 crusty loaf of good bread (around 1 lb)

7 tbsp butter, softened

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp Parmesan

1 ½ tsp garlic, crushed

1 ½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano, basil, italian seasoning or combination of all of these spices

pinch of paprika

freshly ground black pepper

kosher salt, to taste (at least 1/4 tsp)

1 cup shredded mozarella or 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan, optional

parsley leaves for garnish, optional

Preheat the broiler to high. Set your oven rack 4" from the broiler.

Slice the bread into 1-2" thick slices.

Combine the rest of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Spread this garlic butter over your bread slices. Place these on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the garlic bread is nicely toasted and golden brown. Keep the oven door open and watch closely to avoid burning. This may take around 8 minutes.

If desired, top with shredded mozzarella, return back and broil for about a minute or so until the cheese is melted. Serve right away.
