Emeril made this garlic bread on an episode about preparing foods kids like to eat. I made this and it definitely went over well with my family. I served this with Emeril's lasagna for a nice Italian meal with kick. On the episode, he used his Creole Essence, but you can use any Cajun or Creole seasoning you prefer. You can make at least 2 loaves of garlic bread with the spread, depending upon how much you like to spread per loaf. Ingredients:
8 -12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
3/4 teaspoon emeril's creole emeril's original essence (to taste) |
2 teaspoons garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped |
salt, to taste |
1 loaf french bread or 1 loaf italian bread, 22-inch long |
parsley, garnish (optional) |
paprika, garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Split the French bread in half lengthwise. Lay the bread, crust side down, on the lined baking sheet.
4. Place the butter in a medium bowl.
5. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir together until blended.
6. Spread the some of the butter mixture evenly onto the bread, reserve the rest for more garlic bread (keeps at least 1 week in fridge, bring to room temp before using and stir well).
7. Garnish with some paprika and chopped parsley if desired for a bit more color.
8. Bake until golden brown and bubbly,about 15 to 18 minutes, checking early so it doesn't burn.
9. Remove from the oven.
10. Carefully slice diagonally into 7 slices per half and serve immediately.
