Herbed Garlic Bread

Here's a super-easy garlic bread spread that saves having to purchase the pre-made margarine laden loaves from the store. I use this if I haven't time or desire to bake a loaf of home-made Italian bread. It's very easy and tasty, too! We usually double this for our family.

Herbed Garlic Bread Spread

Preheat oven to 400.

1/2 cup softened butter
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic salt, to taste (I use 1/4 tsp)
1 loaf French bread

Combine the butter and spices together well. Split French bread loaf lengthwise and spread generously. Place on baking sheet and bake in oven until as crisp as desired, about 10 minutes. May be broiled for a minute if extra crispness is desired.
