Italy Garlic Bread

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.
