Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread or baguette into 1-inch thick slices and set them aside on a baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice using a butter knife or spatula.
Arrange the slices, buttered side up, on the baking sheet.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Optional: For extra crispiness, broil the toasts on high for an additional 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the garlic toasts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish with pasta, soup, or salad, or enjoy as a snack on its own.
