This garlic parmesan toast combines melted butter, fresh garlic, and grated cheese on crusty bread, then bakes until the edges crisp and the top turns golden. It makes a quick side for pasta night, soups, or salads and comes together with pantry staples in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

  2. In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, minced garlic, 1/2 cup of the parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.

  3. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread halves, reaching all the way to the edges.

  4. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan over the buttered bread.

  5. Place the bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

  6. For extra color, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.

  7. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
