I could have eaten the whole loaf! I love garlic bread, and this is an easy recipe. It has great garlic and butter flavor. I did add Parmesan cheese to the top because I love cheese on my garlic bread!

I love garlic bread. I could probably eat it everyday! I add onion powder to the bread for an extra layer of flavor.

I've made this garlic bread several times. My family loves it. I use whatever bread I happen to have on hand. This last time I used Texas toast. It was yummy. We enjoy cheese on our garlic bread. so i split the batch and do one set with parmesan cheese. Thanks for sharing a delicious recipe for us all to enjoy. It's very quick and easy.
