Of course, a classic, easy spaghetti and meatballs dinner needs garlic bread for dipping so I went on a quest that involved several loaves of bread, chopped garlic, real butter and herbs. It also involved a few stomach aches (hey I’m I’m human and sometimes you can’t stop at one slice)!
Easy Garlic Bread Recipe
But alas, we landed on a delightful, mouth-watering garlic bread recipe that’s 1000x better than the store-bought kind and that I can’t stop making.
This homemade garlic bread recipe requires super simple ingredients, so trust me when I say you’ll back to it time and time again. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
If you like cheesy garlic bread, feel free to add 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella! You’ll sprinkle it on in the last 2 minutes of baking (so that it doesn’t get too crispy on top).
Air Fryer Garlic Bread (fresh Or Frozen)
If you like crispier garlic bread, bake it for 3-5 minutes more (but watch it carefully so that it doesn’t get too toasted). If you like it softer, take it out closer to 10 minutes. You can also wrap the bread in aluminum foil before baking it if you like softer garlic bread.
Store any leftovers covered at room temp for 1-2 days. Simply reheat it in your oven by wrapping it in foil and warming it for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
That’s right, this homemade garlic bread is freezer-friendly! It’s such a great way to have a delicious side on hand at any time. Here’s how to freeze it:

This easy garlic bread recipe is delicious served with your fav pasta dishes & comfort foods, and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!Last fall, Nick and I, along with a few of our pals, took a Western Caribbean cruise with stops in dazzling locations like Mexico, Honduras, and Belize. On the Belize leg of the trip, we found ourselves on a quaint little island called Caye Caulker – also known as “Go Slow Island” – seemingly plucked right from a postcard.
This isolated paradise had a cozy restaurant where, let’s just say, the seafood was as local as you can get. Fresh from the nearby reef, I’d bet! I had myself a lobster kabob, freshly made coleslaw, and a slice of what can only be called garlic French toast. Instead of a sweet syrupy treat, this piece of bread was a heavenly blend of garlic and butter. Yes, it was that good. (Look at the back right corner of the plate in the photo; that’s the only pic I managed to get!)
Spaghetti Bologese Served With Garlic Bread
Ever since that memorable meal, I’ve been itching to recreate it. It took me nine long months, but the day has finally come! Armed with ingredients from my go-to farmers market, I dived into the kitchen to whip up my version of garlic French toast.
While the island version most likely wasn’t made from Brioche, I opted for it. Why? Because Brioche is usually the go-to bread for making French toast. But hey, if you’ve got any type of white bread, even if it’s a bit stale, that’ll work too!
Your bread slices should aim for at least an inch in thickness. Whisk together the eggs, garlic, and parsley in a bowl, and then invite the bread to the party. A quick tip: the thicker the bread, the longer it should luxuriate in the garlic and egg mixture. Aim for a soaking time of around 3-5 minutes, flipping once for good measure.
Homemade Garlic Bread
Once your bread has soaked up all that garlicky goodness, plop it onto a skillet set over medium heat. Cook until each side boasts a golden brown hue.
I served my garlic toast with some jerk chicken because, let’s be honest, real lobster wasn’t exactly fitting into my budget this week—or any week, if I’m being totally transparent.
There you have it, my take on French-Caribbean garlic toast, a dish inspired by a magical little island. It’s more than just a slice of bread; it’s a memory and a new kitchen experiment all rolled into one.
Scrumptious Garlic Bread
Remember, a trip to Caye Caulker isn’t required to relish this dish, but it sure does add a nice backstory, doesn’t it?
