Garlic Bread
There’s a variety of ways to make Garlic Bread but the best way is with Cuban bread. To get bread, you can order right from us at La Segunda online today. There are two ways to make garlic bread, one with toasted Cuban bread or two, with Pan Frito (fried Cuban bread).

½ unsalted butter
½ cup olive oil (for Pan Frito)
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions for Toasted Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the Cuban bread into slices, about 1 inch thick. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.

Instructions for Pan Frito: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic until golden brown for about a minute.
