Garlic Bread Bites Recipes

GARLIC PITA BREAD BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Open pita bread halves and roughly cut into approximately 2 inch pieces. Arrange on a medium baking sheet.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and mix in garlic and dried Italian-style seasoning. Pour the mixture over pita bread pieces.
• Sprinkle bread with Parmesan cheese, adjusting the amount as desired. Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

BITE-SIZE GARLIC BREAD WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread cubed bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until browned but still soft inside, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the white wine and garlic in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce the wine until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. (Be careful not to reduce too much and scorch the wine and the garlic.) Scrape wine-garlic mixture into a medium bowl.
• Add the butter, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and salt to the bowl with the wine-garlic mixture. Use a wooden spoon to fully incorporate the ingredients into the butter. Leave at room temperature until serving.
• Spread a generous amount (about 3/4 teaspoon) of the flavored butter onto one side of each toast cube. Arrange toast cubes buttered side up on the rimmed baking sheet and return to oven until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Arrange the cubes on a serving platter and sprinkle with herbs. Serve immediately.
• The flavored butter can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
