Let's talk bread. Crusty, warm, fresh-from-the-oven bread. Now imagine dipping that glorious loaf into a rich, herby, flavor-packed olive oil that tastes like it came straight from an Italian bistro. That, friends, is what we're making today. Whether you're serving guests, prepping for a date night in, or just treating yourself (we support it), this easy dipping oil recipe is guaranteed to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Olivelle Caramelized Garlic Infused Olive Oil (or Truffle, Garlic & Herb, or Tuscan Herb - go wild!)
- 1 tsp dried Italian herb blend or Olivelle's Bruschetta Herb Blend
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: A splash of Olivelle's Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar for a sweet twist
Instructions:
- Pour your olive oil into a small, shallow dish.
- Stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if you're feeling spicy.
- For extra oomph, drizzle in a touch of balsamic vinegar and swirl it through.
- Serve immediately with slices of crusty artisian bread (bonus points if it's still warm).
Flavor tips:
- Pair with a baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough loaf.
- Add a clove of fresh minced garlic if you want a bigger punch.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to let the herbs infuse even more flavor.
