KITTENCAL'S GARLIC PARMESAN CROSTINI

Steps:

• Cut the French bread into about 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch slices (I cut them diagonally).
• Microwave the butter and garlic powder and salt until melted.
• Set oven to 350° (use a convection oven bake if you have it).
• Lightly butter the bottom of a large cookie/baking sheet with butter-garlic mixture.
• Add in the parsley to the melted butter and mix well.
• Using a pastry brush, coat each side of the bread slices with the melted butter mixture.
• Place on cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle one side (can sprinkle both sides if desired) with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for about 5-6 minutes (if using a convection bake there is no need to turn over).
• Turn over the slices and bake about 4-5 minutes more, depending on how crispy you like them.
• Best served warm.

KITTENCAL'S PARMESAN GARLIC BREAD OR GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Set oven to 375°F.
• ** FOR GARLIC BREAD; cut slices down the length of the bread about 1-inch intervals without cutting all the way through.
• In a bowl, combine the softened butter with garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese; mix well to combine.
• Spread the butter/garlic mixture between bread slices, and then on the top of the loaf (you may sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top of the loaf if desired).
• Wrap the bread in heavy-duty foil leaving the top partially uncovered.
• Bake until heated through (about 15 minutes).
• ** FOR GARLIC TOAST; slice the bread into slices, then spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each slice of bread, then sprinkle more Parmesan cheese over the top of each slice or you can sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top in place of the Parmesan.
• Place onto a baking sheet and bake (350 degrees F) until lightly toasted to desired doneness.
• Serve warm.
• TO MAKE AHEAD: Combine all ingredients (except the bread) store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a covered container ----- this bread can be made without the addition of the Parmesan cheese if desired, but of course it's better with the cheese!
