Notes:
From the kitchen
- Use softened butter, not melted, so it spreads evenly and stays rich.
- Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but garlic powder can work in a pinch.
- For extra crisp edges, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
- Add mozzarella for a cheesy version.
- Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Swap parsley with basil or oregano for a different herb profile.
- Serve alongside soups and salads.
- Tear and share straight from the tray while still warm.
- Pair with feta and olives.
