Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
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 slices, creating about 12-15 pieces.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, then stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat one side of each baguette slice with the butter mixture and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side up.
Sprinkle approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese over each slice, ensuring the cheese is spread evenly across the top.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately garnish the toasts with finely chopped fresh parsley.
Allow the Parmesan Toasts to cool for 1-2 minutes, then serve warm as an appetizer or alongside soups and salads.
