Make Garlic Bread Even More Comforting With These Simple Ingredients
BY MADISON PATTERSON
While garlic bread is already a pretty comforting food, there's an easy two-ingredient upgrade for those times when you need to double down on comfort: Add brown butter and sage.
The usual ingredients for a garlic bread are butter, garlic, salt, herbs, and cheese. For this upgrade, follow the usual recipe but swap butter with sage-infused brown butter.
Sage has a flavor somewhere between woody, citrusy, and minty. Often incorporated into hearty, meat-based dishes, it gives a subconsciously comforting association for many.
Meanwhile, brown butter is butter cooked extra long until the milk solids within have had time to toast and turn brown, imparting a richer, nuttier flavor than regular butter.
