Olive oil or butter? Which do YOU use for garlic bread?!


Question: Olive oil or butter!? Which do YOU use for garlic bread!?
Answers:
I personally use both, sorry!. To me, some cooking applications require "The Sister's" to make their dishes just have that extra flavor!. I combine Olive Oil and Butter in a small saucier pan, with fresh garlic, salt and cracked black pepper, onion powder, fresh basil and Italian Parsely, then drizzle this mixture onto the bread, dust it with some Regianno Parmesan Cheese then pop it into an oven set on low Broil, then watch it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.when the crusts of the bread start to turn brown, I take it out and let it rest a moment before slicing and serving!. I think that Olive Oil and Butter were meant to be together,(in small amounts) to accent each other, just like salt and pepper! Happy Spring Weekend to you!Www@FoodAQ@Com
