Ingredients

  • Sliced Texas toast
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Dried Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh parsley

  • 4 slices Texas toast, sliced in half diagonally
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
  2. Place the bread slices on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush each slice with the oil mixture on both sides.
  3. Broil the bread until it’s toasted and lightly golden on top. The bread can toast fast depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them. Next, take the pan out of the oven and carefully flip the slices over. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of each piece and broil them again. Once the tops are golden brown and crispy, take them out and garnish with the chopped parsley.

GARLIC TOAST TIPS

  1. Bread: If you don’t feel like you can take off your fancy pants, feel free to swap the Texas toast for your favorite fancy bread for this recipe. Sliced Italian bread, French bread, sourdough, or another crusty type of baguette you can find at the grocery store will work.
  2. Garlic: I tried this recipe with chopped fresh garlic and minced garlic, but I didn’t love how it looked (vain, yes). I also prefer the garlic powder because it goes with the old-school theme, and it’s easier to handle. Just measure and stir – no chopping required.
  3. Swaps: You could do a garlic butter situation. Mix softened unsalted butter with the seasonings and spread the garlic butter mixture on the bread before toasting it. Don’t go too thick with it because the bread might end up soggy instead of crispy.
  4. I hope you give this garlic bread recipe a try soon – it’s an easy way to add a little extra dinnertime comfort.

Happy Toasting,

  1. Turn the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
  2. Place the bread slices on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush each slice with the oil mixture on both sides.
  3. Broil the bread until toasts and is lightly golden. Depending on your oven this can go fast so keep an eye on them. Take the pan out of the oven and carefully flip the slices over. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of each slice and broil them again. Once they are golden and crispy, take them out and garnish with the chopped parsley.
