How to Make Garlic Bread (The Fresh Garlic Version)

Can you smell the aroma of the garlic? Mmmmm!!! Now it's time to remove the mixture from the heat and spread onto your slices of bread. A teaspoon works just fine.

Hi Richard! Great eyes! Those green flecks are dried oregano which I used on this batch but decided not to include in the guide because I think they overpower the flavored of garlic and cheese.

I notice the green flecks on both versions of your garlic bread but nothing is said about them in your recipes nor your ingredients...it could be dried parsley, or basil, or oregano or maybe even rosemary...wish You clarified this.
