Basil Garlic Toast Recipes

FRESH BASIL ROASTED GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Slice the tops off of each garlic head and drizzle olive oil and salt and pepper over the tops.
• Wrap up the garlic heads in a piece of foil and roast for 30-45 minutes on 400 degrees.
• When the cloves are tender and cooled, squeeze them out into a small bowl along with the softened butter, chopped basil and additional salt and pepper. Mix well until mixture is well-combined.
• Spread a thin layer of the garlic mixture over each piece of bread.
• Place the bread slices single layered on a baking sheet and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Broil in the oven for about 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Serve hot!

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.

ULTIMATE INSTANT GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Using your pop-up toaster, toast the slice of bread until it starts to brown.
• Firmly grasp the garlic clove, and rub it across the toasted bread.
• Continue rubbing until the entire clove of garlic has been rubbed into the toast.
• Butter the toast lightly- or heavily- your choice.
• Sprinkle with a teensy weensy pinch of salt, if desired.

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!
