Easy Entertaining: Garlic Infused Olive Oil Dip Appetizer

This is such an easy and quick way to have a little guilty pleasure for unexpected visitors or for a planned soiree. It's super easy and can be used and manipulated in so many ways. Most likely you have the ingredients stocked in the kitchen and it will only take you a matter of minutes to whip up a delicious appetizer!

Serves 4
Ingredients
1/4 of a Good Olive Oil
4-5 cloves of garlic
Red Pepper Flakes
Baguette

Mince your garlic. Remember not all cloves are created equal so add a few more if you like. 

Heat olive oil in a small sauce pan on low to medium

Once the olive oil is warm (but not hot, we don't want to fry the garlic) 
add the garlic and lower the heat a little bit. 

Continually stir the garlic and olive oil just for One minute and remove the pan from the heat. 

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and transfer the garlic infused olive oil to a dish. 

Slice your bread and your done! 
Super easy and I bet you cant wait to dive in because the aroma this gives to a kitchen is to die for! 
This is really good drizzled over vegetables, chicken, or pretty much anything. It can be a dip for pita chips and raw veggies. You can a little bit of fresh ground pepper,lemon pepper, some lemon juice, omit the red pepper flakes... or whatever your taste buds are asking for! 

Enjoy and xoxo,
The Party Barbie
