Herbed Garlic French Bread Recipe Video

In a small mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup softened butter or margarine, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, ½ tablespoon fresh minced parsley (or ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes), 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon paprika. Use a fork to blend thoroughly. Spread mixture on one side of each slice of French bread, and place the slices on an ungreased baking pan. Broil in an oven about 6 inches from the heat, leaving the oven door partially open. Broil for about 5 minutes, or until bread is sizzling on top and beginning to brown. Remove pan from oven, and place bread on a serving plate. This is a delightful accompaniment to most meals. It is soft, but crispy, and it is bursting with flavor!
