Garlic bread comes in many shapes, forms, and breads. They are so simple to prepare and also so good that any cuisine that includes bread has their own special version. The Spanish rub toasted bread with olive oil, Texans’ coat thick slices of toasted bread with melted butter and garlic, Italians’ add parsley and parmesan cheese to a hearty toasted bread loaf, and South Africans’ exchange cilantro for parsley on grilled ciabatta bread. Try it any way that sounds appetizing to you.

Garlic Bread with Herbs and Parmesan

There's no better in the food world than crunchy toasted bread sopping with garlicky melted butter, chopped herbs, and cheese (at least in my opinion!). Exchange the parsley in this recipe with chopped cilantro and you'll move you dish from Italy to South Africa.
