Personal Notes:
I'm familiar with the method of scraping garlic cloves over the top of a split baguette to make garlic bread. You've seen it on TV. The sliced baguette is oiled and grilled. Then raw garlic cloves are scraped over the charred top while chefs with funny accents drink red wine, discuss cooking nuances and ponder how to get us to donate more money to the PBS channel that airs their show in exchange for a tote bag. I've also just sprinkled garlic powder over toasted buttered bread. But for my money, compound butter is the tastiest way of making garlic bread. Gigi agrees. Besides, she doesn't need another tote bag.

Make a log of compound butter and store it in the fridge. You'll be surprised at the number of uses it has.
