Grilled Chili Herb Bread Recipes

GRILLED BREAD (GARLIC OR PLAIN!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
• Brush each side of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt on top of each. Grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and just starting to char on the edges.
• Remove from the heat. If desired, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic and a bit of butter or additional olive oil (we rubbed on a small pat of butter between all the slices). Add another sprinkle of kosher salt if serving plain as garlic bread, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill cut sides of bread, rotating once to make hatch marks, until lightly charred and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush grilled sides with herb butter; serve immediately.

GRILLED BREAD AND CHILES WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Lightly brush grates with oil and grill peppers whole, turning occasionally, until skin is mostly blackened and peppers are completely softened, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Place in a medium bowl, cover, and let stand 10 to 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove skins and pull peppers apart, discarding skins, seeds, and stems, if desired. Tear in half if small, or cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
• Brush bread on both sides with oil and grill, turning once, until marked and beginning to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide burrata among plates, drizzle generously with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with grilled bread and peppers.
