Instructions

• Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler element.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 8 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup minced pepperoncini peppers, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
• If the loaf is not already halved, cut 1 Italian or French bread loaf lengthwise. Place the two cut sides up on a baking sheet.
• Spread the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
• Broil the bread until the tops are golden and bubbling, about 5 minutes; watch closely to prevent burning.
• Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
