Notes
- If you want a less garlic flavor you can cut back to 3 cloves or 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Fresh garlic is best and mincing by hand but you can use jarred minced garlic.
- Use your favorite bread for this, we like French bread see above for other options.
- This can be frozen for up to 3 months, see storage on how to do that.
- In place of parsley you can use fresh oregano, fresh basil, or fresh chives.
- You can substitute 2 teaspoons dried parsley for the fresh.
