Crusty Basil Loaf

By Diana Rattray, About.com

This is so easy to make on the grill or in the oven with a loaf of French bread and your own fresh herbs

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or mixture of chopped fresh basil and chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large loaf of French bread

Preparation:

Blend basil and butter; cover and let stand to blend flavors.

Slice loaf into 1-inch slices; spread with butter mixture. On a large, heavy-duty piece of foil, arrange slices in a loaf shape. Wrap with the foil. Heat on grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, or bake at 350° for 25 minutes.
