1- stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2-3 cloves garlic, pureed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 - loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices

Mix together the butter and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and place on the grill or a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the bread about 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown on both sides. If you grill the bread then grill 1-2 minutes per side.
