I am so sorry that I forgot to review this recipe 2 wks ago when made for company. While this easy-fix & ingredient-friendly recipe was essentially made as written, I did alter the presentation slightly by using sml crusty French rolls so I could plate them as part of a starter course. I am glad I made extras & had them on the table because my guests devoured them w/an excess of greed. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

I just used regular bread, thick sliced, because I didn't have any french bread on hand. But the garlic butter mixture was very good. I used all the garlic, and followed diner's suggestion and used a lower amount of basil. Thanks for posting! Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

I didn't use French bread, I used brunch bread. We really loved the flavor of the garlic butter on the bread. So yummy! Thansk Diner :) Made for Gimme 5 tag game
