Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). For crisper toast, use the broiler setting on low.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices to create more surface area for toasting.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush the top of each slice lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.
If using garlic, peel the clove and slice it in half. Gently rub the cut side of the garlic onto the surface of each baguette slice for a hint of flavor.
Sprinkle the slices with salt and optional pepper for added seasoning.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges of the baguette slices are lightly golden and crisp.
If using the broiler, keep a close eye on the slices, as they can toast quickly. They should take 3-5 minutes to lightly brown.
Remove the baguette toast from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the baguette toast plain, or pair it with toppings like butter, jam, cheese, avocado, or bruschetta. Enjoy!
