Brown Butter, Parsley & Sea Salt Garlic Bread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This AMAZING garlic bread will hands down win everyone over!! Whipped brown butter combined with roasted garlic, parsley and sea salt slathered between bread slices and baked till golden and crunchy!
It is so freaking amazing and will have everyone swooning over it. I’ve recreated this dish from a garlic bread we had in a little restaurant in Newport on Sydneys Northern Beaches a few years back. When it came out to our table I was in love with it from the first bite! It takes a little more effort then regular garlic bread but it is totally worth it!

To make this stunner of a garlic bread first I roasted off a whole head of garlic in the oven. So easy to do and it really takes the flavour up a notch. After being roasted garlic isn’t so pungent, it becomes silky soft, mellow and just plain out right delicious. I could sit there and eat on its own no worries! I totally LOVE garlic.

Next, I browned some butter in a saucepan till nut brown then poured it into a bowl to cool. I then added the cooled roasted garlic then ‘whipped’ this mixture until it turned creamy, soft and pillowy. Stir through some fresh parsley and sea salt flakes – and viola! You have the most amazing whipped brown butter and garlic butter every invented!!

I made a 1/2 quantity of my crusty no- knead bread for this but you can easily purchase a small loaf from the bakery or supermarket. Or you can make one like I did. I like making a small version of this garlic bread as its only my partner and myself but if serving for a group of people, double the butter and make a large loaf instead. Or better yet, do this anyway and save half the butter for later or make one for now and freeze a loaf for later.

Either way, I guarantee you that this will be your next favourite garlic bread and everyone will ask you for it over and over again!

A small loaf will serve 2 very hungry people or up to 4 people as a starter.

❄️ Storage

FRIDGE:
Store any cooled leftover garlic bread, wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap tightly in foil and bake in a 160C oven until piping hot and heated through.


FREEZE:
This is perfect to make and freeze ahead of time before baking. Make the butter, slather into the cut slices of the bread then wrap in foil then a layer of plastic wrap of pop into a zip-lock bag. Label, date and freeze for up to 3 months. You can bake from frozen or from thawed. If baking from frozen be sure to add ‘an extra’ 8-10 minutes or so of time onto the first bake time to allow the bread to defrost before unwrapping and baking a further 3-5 minutes to brown.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time:10 minutes mins
Cook Time:1 hour hr
Course: Appetiser, Entree, Nibbles
Cuisine: Australian, Italian
Keyword: brown butter, garlic bread, herb bread, roasted garlic
Servings: 3 -4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic, halved horizontally through the middle
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 125g unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt flakes
  • 1 small loaf crusty fresh bread (See Note 2)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200℃ (180℃ fan forced). Grab a small sheet of foil and place the garlic onto the foil, cut side up. Drizzle with oil then bunch the foil up and around the garlic to enclose. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until very soft and lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan (SEE NOTE 3) over medium heat until foamy. Once foaming, stir often until it starts to turn brown, but be careful to not let it burn. It can happen quite quickly. Once browned, immediately pour into a small bowl. Set aside to cool.
  • Once butter has cooled (but not hard), squeeze the garlic out from the skins and add to the butter. Using a whisk, whisk for around 2-3 minutes or until creamy. Add the parsley and salt and stir to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 220℃ (200℃ fan forced). Slice the bread into 1cm thick slices but do not cut all the way through. Slather all the cut slices of bread with the brown butter mixture then wrap the bread in a sheet of foil to enclose at the top. Place onto a baking tray and pop into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Open up the foil to expose the bread and return to the oven for a further 3-5 minutes to get golden brown. Remove and stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. COOKS NOTES:
    Oven Temps: 
    Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.
    Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup =  250 ml.
    Herbs: All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed.
    Vegetables: All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified.
    Eggs: We use extra-large size and eggs are 55-60 g each, unless specified.
  2. MINI LOAF OF BREAD
    I made a half quantity of my no knead bread for this but you can buy similar from the supermarket. Coles sells a mini white sourdough pane de casa loaf for around $3.25.
    If you would prefer to make a large loaf, double the recipe but use 1 regular loaf of crusty bread instead.
  3. SAUCEPAN FOR BROWN BUTTER
    I suggest using a stainless steel saucepan for melting the butter as its easier to see what colour the butter is turning. If using non-stick its hard due to the dark colour of the pan.
  4. AIR-FRYER
    You can also bake the garlic and the bread in your air-fryer. Just reduce the time to suit your air-fryer and check regularly to keep an eye on the colour and crunch.

Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨ These Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨

These pork bowls are SOOOO quick and easy to make and everyone, including the kids will enjoy it!

Not a fan of pork? Simply swap the pork mince out for extra lean beef, chicken or turkey!  You could also swap the broccolini out for snow peas, more green beans, Asian greens, zucchini or regular broccoli. 🥦 Simply use what’s you have or what your family enjoys! It’s very versatile - leave the chilli 🌶️ out or add more depending on your heat tolerance. 😎

Have a Happy day 🌺🌈

RECIPE ⬇️

Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls
 
INGREDIENTS: - Serves 4

1 tablespoon oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 
1/2 long red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (Optional)
500g Extra Lean pork mince (or your choice of mince)
2 bunches broccolini, cut into 3cm lengths
1 cup chopped green beans
2 spring onions, cut into 3cm lengths

STIR-FRY SAUCE:
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon kecap manis
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar or honey
2 teaspoons cornflour

TO SERVE:
Cooked rice of choice 
Finely shredded carrot
Spring onions, sliced, extra to garnish
Herb to garnish if desired (I used some Thai basil as that’s what I had)

1 Combine Stir-Fry Sauce ingredients in a jug or bowl until throughly combined. Set aside.
2 Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and chilli (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Crumble in the pork mince then cook, breaking up with a spoon for 5 minutes or until cooked through. 
3 Add the broccolini and green beans. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until just starting to soften. Add the prepared Stir-Fry Sauce and the spring onions and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until vegetables are just soft (but still a little crunchy) and the sauce has thickened.
4 Serve with rice and garnish with shredded carrot, extra spring onions, sliced red chilli (if using) and a sprig of herbs. Enjoy 😊

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! This was lunch HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! 

This was lunch yesterday! Couple of my zucchini fritters with a poached egg, green leafy salad and a side of cherry tomatoes, red onion and some @stickybalsamic pearls. 

You could of course do so many things with these fritters. Serve with bacon, avocado, toast, smoked salmon, in a sandwich or wrap…the list is endless. 

Recipe below. I made them in my Thermomix but I have given directions for using a food processor. You could even just mix in a bowl. Just make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. You want the mixture to be quite firm so that you can almost shape them in the palm of your hand 🖐️ 

HEALHTY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Makes 8 

600g zucchinis
2 teaspoons salt, divided
100g grated mozzarella
50g grated light cheese
2 spring/green onions, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
75g (1/2 cup) wholemeal self-raising flour
125g can corn kernels, drained

1 Grate the zucchini into a bowl. Add the 1 teaspoon of the salt and mix to combine. Transfer onto a clean tea towel, chux or cheesecloth and wring out to remove as much liquid as possible. (Squeeze this really well then squeeze again)

2 Place cheese, spring/green onions, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic granules, cumin, pepper and remaining salt into a food processor. Mix until throughly combined. 

3 Add the zucchini, egg and flour. Process until combined. Add the corn and fold through. The mixture should be quite firm . If it’s too wet, add some more flour. (you almost want to be able to shape them with your hands kinda firm).

4 Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 4 heaped spoonful of the mixture and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining mixture and a little more oil. Cool on a wire rack  and serve as desired.

Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsam Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsamic Pearls. 

This was such a healthy and delicious dinner!

I pretty much had a fridge raid on my vegetable drawer! I roasted some cauliflower, zucchini, red onion and capsicum and also did some steamed greens 🥦 

For the salmon , I made a dry rub with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli flakes, brown sugar, dried oregano and S & P.  I lightly oiled the fish then sprinkled the rub over to coat. Baked in a 180C air fryer for 6 minutes! 

I served all this with @ainsleyfoodscompany Moroccan medley couscous, a light sprinkle of crumbled feta and topped it off with the lovely  @stickybalsamic balsamic pearls for a burst of flavour in every bite!! (See Link in bio)

It was a cracker of a dish my friends 💚🍣

Have. fabulous Friday 🥂 😁
