Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, finely minced

Herbs & Spices

  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herb Blend (basil, oregano, thyme)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Cheese & Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic and chop fresh parsley so theyโ€™re ready to infuse their flavors into the oil. Grate the Parmesan cheese while ensuring all ingredients are fresh for maximum taste.
  2. Combine Olive Oil and Seasonings: Pour extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl or dipping dish, then stir in the minced garlic, Italian herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt until well blended.
  3. Add Cheese and Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the olive oil mixture and gently fold in the chopped parsley, dispersing flavor and color evenly throughout the blend.
  4. Let it Marinate: Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and intensify before serving.
  5. Serve with Your Favorite Bread: Present the Delicious Loaded Bread Dipping Oil alongside rustic bread, focaccia, or any crusty loaf, ready for dipping and savoring.

Notes

  • Use Quality Olive Oil: The oil is the star of the dish, so choose the best extra virgin olive oil you can find for a richer flavor.
  • Mince Garlic Finely: Tiny pieces release more flavor and infuse the oil without overwhelming any bite.
  • Adjust Salt Slowly: Add salt little by little to avoid over-seasoning your dipping oil.
  • Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Letting the oil sit lets the herbs and garlic infuse deeply, making each dip tastier.
  • Serve Fresh: Use the dipping oil within a day or two for the brightest flavor and best quality.
