Simple Grilled Herb and Olive Oil Bread
From jdmnewcanaan 15 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 6
This is so simple, I am little embarrassed, however, I actually receive requests for it from friends and family. Grilled italian or french bread basted with olive oil/balsamic vinegar and fresh herb mixture. Goes well as a side or as a appetizer with cheese.
Ingredients
- Loaf of good (and fresh) crusty french or Italian bread - this is key - don't use poor quality or day old . . . shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- balsamic vinegar shopping list
- dried basil shopping list
- white pepper (optional) shopping list
- fresh herbs (basil or parsley are best - rosemary and sage are also good) shopping list
How to make it
- Heat grill (ensure it is clean!) - start on high
- Slice bread to ½” thickness
- Lay slices flat
- Coarsely chop your herbs and set aside
- Mix Olive Oil, Balsamic vinegar, Dried Basil, White Pepper in mixing bowl
- Whisk ingredients until oil and vinegar are well mixed
- Baste each slice with mixture until well coated, but do NOT saturate.
- Flip each slide and do the same (TIP: Re-whisk your mixture as the oil and vinegar will separate - you do not want someone to get a vinegar slice . . . ) - keep any left-over mixture for basting on grill if needed
- Sprinkle coarsely chopped herbs on one side of your slices - keep rest for later and bring to grill with you
- Turn the grill to medium heat
- Set you slices - herb side up on grill
- Stand by - each side takes only a couple of minutes pending hot zones of your grill - you want a golden brown color
- Flip each slice and sprinkle additional herbs as desired, baste with mixture of desired as well
- Remove from grill and serve
