This was very good, but I did add salt to it. I needed "something" extra and some salt did the trick.

Great garlic bread, and we eat some variety of garlic bread 3-4 times a week, so we know a good one when we try it!! We didn’t grill it, just broiled for a few minutes until golden brown. A definite keeper!

I used dried parsley and basil because it's what I had on hand. Very fast dish to put together and everyone loved it. Leftovers froze and reheated great!

This was pretty good, but I did think it could use some more flavor. Next time I would increase the basil and maybe add some onion salt. The parsley doesn't add a lot to the taste although it makes the bread look wonderful to serve.
