Garlic Bread
I learned this trick for quick and easy garlic bread from former Yukoner Philip Adams, a bold and inventive cook.
- 1/2 baguette sliced into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Toast baguette slices in a 425F oven until edges are browned, about 5 minutes.
Slice garlic clove in half. Rub one side of each slice of toasted bread with the garlic. Crumbs of garlic will stay on the bread, almost as though the bread is a grater.
Pour oil into a dinner plate and add salt and pepper. Press the garlicky side of the toasted bread slices into the oil, making sure the surface is coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.
