🥖 New York-Style Garlic Bread


This recipe is a true treasure, earning a 5-star rating from thousands on the New York Times website. 🥖 The taste is so exceptional, it feels like it came straight from a fine dining restaurant.


New York-style garlic bread is renowned for its crispy texture and rich garlic scent. It's a classic side dish that pairs wonderfully with pasta or soup, and the best part? It’s easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. The combination of creamy butter, aromatic garlic, and fresh herbs delivers a burst of flavor in every bite. I hope you get a chance to try it- it’s so worth it!


The secret to this amazing recipe? Parmesan cheese! 🧀 You can use regular pre-grated Parmesan from the store, but I highly recommend trying high-quality Parmigiano-Reggiano at least once. The difference in flavor is remarkable.


Pro tip: Make a large batch and freeze the extras in a ziplock bag. 🥖👩🏻‍🍳 They’re perfect to have on hand for pasta nights or a quick snack. Once you try this recipe, you might find yourself avoiding store-bought garlic bread entirely. 😉



📍 A Quick Note on Taste


Garlic bread in the U.S. is quite different from the Korean-style version. In Korea, garlic bread is typically sweet, while the American version is more savory, featuring the rich, salty taste of Parmigiano-Reggiano.


If you’ve never experienced authentic New York-style garlic bread, I hope this recipe offers you a taste of something new!
