JEN'S MISTAKE - AKA HERBED GINGER & GARLIC BREAD

Jen's Mistake - Aka Herbed Ginger & Garlic Bread image

I was busy making what I thought was a garlic butter to spread on my french bread when I thought I'd better taste it to see if it needed more garlic. Well, I thought it did, so I kept adding more and more......til I saw that the jar I was using was actually ginger LOL......I then grabbed the right jar and added in the garlic & herbs & after tasting decided it was ok :) At the time I was making a large amount for a crowd but have scaled it back to post. Use more or less of the ginger & garlic to suit your taste. One advantage I did find was that as so often happens with garlic bread this didn't 'repeat' on me :) I now use this all the time and the family all ask for "that 'mistake' garlic bread" LOL :)

Time 20m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

100 g butter (softened but not melted)
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons crushed garlic (from a jar!)
2 teaspoons grated gingerroot (from a jar!)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried basil (or use fresh if you have it)
1 loaf French bread

Steps:

Slice the french loaf hoizontally through the middle, then cut both halves into wide slices and place them on a baking paper lined tray. (saves on the washing up!).
Add the salt, garlic and ginger to the softened butter and mix with a fork to beat it in well.
Add in the parsley and basil and mix well.
Spread onto the slices of bread and place the tray in a mod oven (350'F/175'C) and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes
Don't over cook as they will be too crunchy (unless you like them that way), they should be crispy on the outside but soft in the middle and easy to eat.
