Notes
Note 1: You’ll need to peel the cloves. Then, push each clove through a garlic press, or grate them on a microplane zester. The easiest way to peel a garlic clove is to lay it flat on a cutting board and press the flat side of a chopping knife against the clove until you hear it crack. This releases the skin from the clove, making it easy to peel off.
Note 2: Make cheesy garlic bread by sprinkling freshly grated parmesan or mozzarella cheese over the butter spread.
