This simple Peppery Grilled Garlic Bread recipe makes a perfect side for a summer barbecue.
Why add pepper to garlic bread? I mean… garlic bread is pretty darn good all on its own. But pepper just adds an extra kick that you might be surprised about. The pepper is mixed in to the garlic butter mixture. The bread is grilled with just a brush of olive oil. The peppery butter mixture is spread on after you grill the bread. It’s an easy recipe to make if you happen to have your grill on anyways.
Ingredients needed:
- unsalted butter
- garlic cloves
- freshly ground black pepper
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- salt
- loaf of French bread
- extra virgin olive oil
