Garlic Bread
serves 2-4
Recipe from Rachel Rappaport
This is the best garlic bread I have ever had. Using the butter and the oil together gives you the taste of olive oil with the browning and spreading properties of butter. You could leave the anchovies out, but they really add to the flavor.

2. In a small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, butter, parsley, parmesan and pepper to form a paste. Spread evenly over both sides of bread.
3. Arrange anchovy fillets diagonally across the bread. Place on cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes or until just golden. If the bread is hot but not brown on top, place under the broiler 1-2 minutes to crisp and brown. Slice and serve.
