Nifs Bread Crackers In A Pinch Food

NIF'S BREAD CRACKERS IN A PINCH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a cookie sheet with a silicone pad, parchment paper or tin foil.
• With a cookie cutter, cut out shapes from your slices of bread. You can use whatever shape but I used a smaller circle and they turned out great.
• Pick up the cutouts and press them flat with your fingers, making them very thin like a cracker.
• Crush the garlic clove(s) with the side of a large knife and add to butter. Melt in the microwave and the garlic will infuse the butter as it heats up. Brush each "cracker" with garlic butter and place on the cookie sheet.
• Place in oven and turn over after 5 minutes. Bake for another 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them in case your oven cooks hotter than mine.
• Top with preferred toppings.
