1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large loaf Italian bread
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1) At home, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic. Keep butter over low heat for 20 minutes, then turn off heat under pan. Stir in salt and let garlic butter sit 1 hour longer. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until it’s time to pack the picnic.
2) At the picnic site, slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, making two long halves. Hold the container with the garlic butter over the grill just until it’s soft enough to spread. Use a butter knife to spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the bread, then place bread buttered-side-down over the grill.
3) Grill until bread is golden brown with grill marks, then flip bread and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Grill just 2 minutes longer and move bread to table. Cut each half into as many slices as you’d like.
