Almost Too Pretty For Garlic Bread

-But that's what the loaves are destined for tonight. I dressed them up by brushing them with egg white and placing sage leaves on as decoration. Then I brushed them again. This technique works best with bread that won't be baked in an oven with steam.

For the garlic bread:

Bread (of course)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used homemade)
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
4-5 cloves soft, roasted garlic. Mash it all together and slather it on split loaf of bread. Stick under the broiler for a minute or two.
