Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread (or any crusty bread)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then stir in the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the parsley, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the herb butter mixture generously onto both sides of each slice of bread using a pastry brush.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through baking to ensure even toasting.
Remove the herb toast from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a snack, side dish, or accompaniment to soups and salads.
