Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces, aiming for approximately 12 slices, and arrange them on the lined baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and spreadable.
Spread a generous layer of the Parmesan butter mixture evenly on the top of each bread slice.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the toasts to enhance browning and crispness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese topping is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley for presentation.
Serve warm and enjoy your Hot Parmesan Toasts as a standalone snack or a delicious accompaniment to your meal.
