Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
  • 8 slices white bread
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  3. Arrange the bread slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over each slice of bread.

Adding cheese like mozzarella or parmesan on top can enhance the flavor even more.
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
