Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic artisan bread
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette or artisan bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each bread slice.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the slices to encourage crisping during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden and crispy around the edges.
Remove the crotes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Pair with soups, salads, or pasta dishes for a delightful combination.
