Fried Garlic Toast Recipes

QUICK GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Cut each slice in half; place plain side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

JUST GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet.
• Toast in preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Rub garlic halves on warm bread.

CHARRED TOMATOES WITH FRIED EGGS ON GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Rub toasted bread with garlic and brush with oil. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet and cook, undisturbed, until whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Brush cut sides of tomatoes with oil. Sear, cut sides down and undisturbed, until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer 2 tomato halves to each piece of toast with a spatula and lightly mash. Season with salt and pepper and top with fried eggs.

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.

FRIED GARLIC TOAST

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

FRIED EGGS ON GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Place the diced bread and the garlic in a large bowl and mix together.
• Add 1/4 olive oil and stir the ingredients together.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bread and garlic mixture.
• Cook until it begins to sizzle and brown.
• Add the tablespoon of olive oil to the pan (around the bread) and heat for 10 seconds.
• Then crack the eggs on top of the bread (or if you prefer scramble them up in a bowl first and pour over bread) and cook until set (about 2 minutes).
• If desired flip and cook on other side about 30 seconds more.
• Remove the eggs and bread to serving plates and add salsa to skillet.
• Cook until hot and then pour over the eggs.
• Serve immediately.

CRISPY FRIED GARLIC RECIPE

Steps:

• Before cooking, prepare a clean, dry fine-mesh strainer or sieve over a bowl (to catch the oil). Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Pour oil into a cold pan. Add garlic and heat pan over medium- to medium-low heat. Shake to disperse the garlic and cook over medium-low heat until garlic starts to crisp and reaches a light golden color throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour garlic out into the strainer over the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and shake to remove excess oil into the bowl. Pour dry garlic out onto the paper towel-lined plate and let cool completely for best crisp.
• Optional pre-step: bring garlic to a boil in a pot of water. Add garlic slices to a pot of water, just enough to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Strain garlic, then proceed with the recipe. This helps remove extra sugars from the garlic to ensure even browning while it fries.

3 WAYS TO COOK FRIED BREAD - WIKIHOW

Steps:

• Cook the fried meal that accompanies the bread (optional). Fried bread is almost always eaten with one or more other fried foods, as part of an English breakfast. This often includes eggs, English bacon, sausage, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans. Fry them all in the same pan before you start your bread. If cooking all of the above, start the sausages first, the mushrooms a couple minutes later, then the other ingredients a few minutes later. Finish with the fried eggs.
• Add more fat or oil (optional). Depending on how much meat and butter you used in the fry-up, you might already have enough fat in the pan. But let's be honest: caloric introspection has no place when frying bread. Add a small knob of butter, a splash of flavorful vegetable oil or, more traditionally, bacon drippings or lard.
• Heat the oil. Turn the stove on medium-high until the oil shimmers and gives off heat. A hot pan will keep the bread crisp, instead of weighed down by soggy grease.
• Add sliced bread to the pan. Slightly stale white bread is perfect, as the dry slice will soak up the flavorful oil more quickly. Save that fresh loaf of whole grain for the people who want toast instead. Slice the bread into triangles if you have a small pan.
• Spice it up (optional). A small sprinkle of salt and a quick turn of the pepper mill will add some flavor, but this isn't mandatory. Cayenne pepper is another option for people who enjoy spice with their breakfast.
• Cook for a few seconds or until golden brown. If the pan is hot and oily enough, you'll only need a few seconds on each side to make the bread crisp, golden brown, and full of the flavors of the fried meal. If your pan was too cold and not sizzling, you may need to fry the bread for 15-30 seconds, but pull it out before it gets too soggy.

PAN-FRIED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Brush the inside of a heavy pan with olive oil and place over medium-low heat.
• Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then again crossways into 3 or 4 inch pieces.
• Rub the cut surfaces with the garlic and brush with oil.
• Arrange as many pieces as will fit in the pan, weighing them down with a bacon press.
• Cook about 5 minutes until underside of bread is browned.
• Turn bread and repeat cooking process for another 5 minutes.
• Repeat until all slices are browned.
• Keep warm in the oven on low heat.
