Garlic Toast

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Thinly slice the bread into 10-12 round slices.

3. 3

   Mince the garlic next.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic with the olive oil, softened butter, Italian seasoning, and salt.

5. 5

   Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture on both sides of each slice of bread and place them onto a baking sheet. (See the notes below for baking a loaf whole.)

6. 6

   Optional, sprinkle some garlic powder over each piece of toast to increase the garlic flavor.

7. 7

   Bake the toasts for 5 minutes until the edges of the bread are a little crispy, but the inside is still soft. Do not overbake or the toast will harden too much and will be hard to chew.

8. 8

   Optional, sprinkle the toasts with finely chopped fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately and enjoy.
