Instructions

Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened salted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, white pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Spread the garlic butter evenly over each slice of sourdough bread. Place the sourdough slices on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy top, if desired.
Let cool slightly, then serve warm or cold.

Notes

Mix Until Creamy: I like to take a moment to really blend the butter and garlic together so the flavor spreads evenly on every slice.

Use Fresh Garlic: I always mince it by hand; it makes the butter smell amazing as it bakes.

Chop the Parsley Finely: I find that small bits melt into the butter better and look nicer on the bread.

Grate the Parmesan Fresh: I always use a microplane; it melts faster and gives a rich, salty finish.

Don’t Walk Away While Broiling: I’ve burned a batch before by stepping away; it only takes a minute to go from golden to too much!
