There are very few meals that are not immeasurably improved by a crusty garlic bread spread lavishly with melted butter, studded with roasted garlic, and carpeted with abundant fresh herbs. Time is often short, though, so keep a batch of this heavenly, fragrant garlic spread for bread on hand to make short work of big flavour.
