Ingredients
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 loaf crusty bread, split
3 tablespoons grated cheese, Parmigiano or Romano, optional
Chopped fresh parsley

Directions
Combine garlic, butter, and oil in a microwave safe dish or in a small
saucepan. Heat garlic and butter and oil in microwave for 1 minute or in a small pot over
moderate-low heat for 3 minutes.
Toast split bread under broiler. Remove bread when it is toasted golden brown in color. Brush bread
