Horseradish and Green Onion Toast
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
This horseradish and green onion toast spread is wonderful over Italian bread and sautéed until golden brown. The horseradish is nice and not overpowering as I thought it might be when my husband first introduced the idea to me; inspired by an old Martha Stewart magazine.
If you’re not big on horseradish, you can substitute with some pressed garlic. It pairs really well with angel hair pasta and lemon shrimp scampi (stay tuned; recipe coming tomorrow). You’ll probably want to eat this bread every day, but it’s best to save it for special occasions since the main ingredient is butter.
It’s a wonderful treat for a fancy dinner party and the spread can be made in advance and softened for spread-ability just before your event.
Horseradish Spread Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbsp fresh green onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp cream-style horseradish
1/2 tsp salt
Italian Pugliese bread or French Bread loaf (We used the Italian Pugliese bread from Costco – hard to beat $4.99 for 2 loaves!
How to make Horseradish and Green Onion Toast:
1. Use a fork to mash together all of the spread ingredients; 1 stick unsalted butter, 2 Tbsp chopped fresh green onion, 2 Tbsp horseradish and 1/2 tsp salt
2. Cut your bread into 1/2-inch slices and spread a thin layer over both sides of the bread
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat and saute each side of bread until golden brown.

Just tried this toast with eggs for dinner and all 4 kiddos (Mom and Dad too 😁) loooved it! Will be making it again for sure.
I’m so glad you all enjoyed it!
Can this also be like garlic bread spread if i just add garlic and toast them in the oven. We love garlic bread with italian dishes which i make pretty often, and i think its time to make garlic bread at home.
Yes absolutely! You can replace the horseradish with garlic and have a garlic spread 😉
Midnight munchies might be talking here… but that sounds ridiculously good right now. Love the simplicity, too. 🙂
It is so easy! 🙂 Hope you love it!
IM DROOLING! LOL Thanks guys!:))
You’re welcome 🙂
hey where we live, we have no fresh green onion or (beets or many fresh vegies) so can i use the big onion instead?
Maybe if you grate it finely, but it wouldn’t stay on the bread if you chopped it. This spread would also be good without onion if you wanted to omit it.
