No plain bread allowed. This viral bread-dipping oil transforms a simple loaf into a flavor-packed starter with layers of richness, zest, and herbaceous brightness that only our chef-crafted blends can deliver. With just a few simple ingredients — including Table 40, Sergio’s Seasoning, and French Cuffs — you’ll get a dip bursting with garlic, fresh herbs, olives, and a touch of onion, finished with a decadent swirl of balsamic glaze. No fancy techniques required.
The trick is layering flavor: a base of Table 40 brings Italian herb depth, Sergio’s adds a savory backbone, and French Cuffs delivers a subtle warmth that ties everything together. Toss in freshly grated garlic, chopped parsley and basil, a hint of red pepper flakes, and nutty Parmesan, then finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a dip that’s irresistible.
