JUST GARLIC TOAST

• Rub garlic halves on warm bread.

MAKE-AHEAD GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Mix butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange Italian bread on a large baking sheet and spread each slice with garlic butter mixture. Place baking sheet in freezer and freeze until bread solid, about 1 hour. Transfer bread to a resealable plastic freezer bag until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange desired number of slices, butter-side up, on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread is toasted and butter is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

BEST GARLIC TOAST (QUICK & EASY!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Thinly slice the bread.
• Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic with the olive oil, dried oregano, and salt. Use a brush to brush the mixture on both sides of each slice of bread and place them onto a baking sheet. Try to pick up some of the minced garlic with the brush, as it tends to sink to the bottom. (If the oil runs out, depending on your size of bread, just add a splash more to the bowl with the garlic.)
• Add a pinch of garlic powder to the top of each toast.
• Bake for 5 minutes until the crust is crisp but the inside is still soft. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy immediately.

GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Turn on broiler.
• Place bread in single layer on sheet of foil. (I use toasted oat bread or whole wheat).
• In small saucer or bowl, mix olive oil, margarine, Italian seasoning, garlic, and Parmesan.
• Brush or spoon mixture over each piece of bread.
• Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• Place 4-6" under broiler.
• ***Watch Closely*** it can quickly go from browned to burnt if you're not paying attention. Cook 2-3 minutes & remove from oven when edges begin to brown.
• Sprinkle lightly with flaked sea salt (I use pink Australian salt, but if you don't have any, a light sprinkling of regular table salt will do).
• Serve!

SIMPLE GARLIC TOAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the bread into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick slices. Butter each side generously with the softened butter. Lay buttered slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle the tops lightly with garlic salt. Place under the broiler in your oven until lightly toasted on top. Turn the slices over once the tops are toasted and toast the bottom side. Remove from the baking sheet when they are toasted on both sides. Serve and enjoy! Note: As you are toasting the bread, the slices will not toast evenly so watch closely and take the baking sheet out and turn the slices as they get done on one side. Remove them from the pan as they get toasted on both sides. They toast pretty quickly under the broiler once they get started so be sure to watch them closely so they do not burn.

FRIED GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Melt butter over low heat in a skillet or griddle. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Fry bread until golden brown on both sides.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

GARLIC TOAST TOPPED WITH FARMERS' MARKET FRESH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, reduce the balsamic vinegar by half over a low flame, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large frying pan, add the chopped garlic and the thin slices of Italian bread. Sauté until lightly browned on both sides. Add olive oil as needed but only enough so the slices brown evenly.
• Place the sautéed bread on the bottom of a large bowl, add the Italian parsley, corn, mozzarella, quartered cherry tomatoes and slivered olives. Drizzle with olive oil and the reduced balsamic vinegar. Season with sea salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
