6 tablespoons of softened butter
1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
2 minced garlic cloves
Slice a loaf of Italian bread in half lengthwise. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shamrock shapes out of the bread. Cream together 6 tablespoons of softened butter, 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Spread the butter on the shapes and bake on a cookie sheet in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread turns light brown.
