Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread slices (thick-cut, such as sourdough or French bread)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the buttered side of each slice.
Arrange the bread slices buttered side up on a baking sheet or place them in your skillet.
Broil the bread in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter is bubbly, or cook in the skillet for 2 minutes on each side for a crisp finish.
Remove the garlic toast from the oven or skillet and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ultimate Instant Garlic Toast as a side dish or snack!
