Author Notes
Some define the beginning of civilization when language was created. Others say the dawn of agriculture. But the beginning of culture as I understand it, began when the first loaf of bread was broken and shared. What better image of community can you ask for? It’s not just a vessel for when you’re dipping it in a sauce or making a sandwich. Let’s celebrate bread on it’s own merit. —Just Me and The Clams
Ingredients
-
8
slices of thickly sliced bread (classic Italian works well)
-
1
stick of butter
-
6
cloves of garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons
mixed herbs (I used a mix of basil, thyme, and oregano here)
-
Salt and Pepper
Directions
-
Blend the butter, garlic, and herbs together until well incorporated. Smear about 1/2 tablespoon on each side of each slice, all the way to the edges.
-
Place these on the grill, but not on direct heat. This works best if you have a raised grill shelf or grate. Grill only until it starts to char, about 4 minutes, then flip and grill another 3.
