Parmesan Green Onion Bread

This bread is great for get-togethers because you can put it together ahead of time and throw it in the oven a half hour before dinner. It's so good that I usually have to double the recipe because it gets eaten so fast. I got this recipe from a Family Circle magazine about 20 years ago.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine, softened
