Irresistible Commanders Palace Garlic Bread is quite possibly the best garlic bread served at any restaurant.

On a recent trip to New Orleans, I was lucky to have this amazing garlic bread. There is something that everyone loves when a tray of fresh and hot bread is placed on your table while you wait for your food. So often the bread is plain, but not at Commanders Palace.

At Commanders Palace you receive this amazing garlic bread. Their bread is a little unusual, and I think it is the addition of a couple of ingredients that make it extra special.

What do they add that most people do not add to garlic bread? Parmesan cheese and dill. If you are like me, I can go along with the Parmesan cheese, but the dill is unique. While I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first glanced at the bread, I was soon won over by the delicious bread.

Ingredients for Commanders Palace Garlic Bread

Crispy French Bread

Real Butter

Fresh Garlic

Parmesan cheese

Dill

I will say in New Orleans the French bread is different. The bread is crispier than what you normally find. The loaves of extra crispy bread add the special touch to the Po Boys, and of course, to this bread.

So my advice on this is to buy the freshest loaves of French bread you can get your hands on. Day-old bread doesn’t have the crispy crust it has on the first day.

It’s even better if your bakery doesn’t shove the bread into plastic bags. While it is a minor point, I prefer to buy French bread made that day and when they have it in paper bags.

Let’s go over the other ingredients. You will need to use real butter, please no margarine. When you bite into a piece of the garlic bread at Commanders Palace the flavor of real butter infused with the perfect amount of garlic is what you taste.

They also add Parmesan cheese. I suggest that you grate your own fresh cheese for this recipe. The stuff in the green can have its place, but it isn’t here. You want cheese that has a nice depth of flavor, so be sure to buy a small hunk of the Parmesan cheese.

I love what the folks over at the Food Almanac said for how much garlic bread you think you will need, you should double that. Their second comment is how much garlic do you want to put on the bread, is for you to put a layer on the bread, and then do it again.

So while you enjoy this delightful garlic bread, you should try some of these other New Orlean’s inspired recipes.
