Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • Stale bread, baguette, or any type of bread (sliced thinly)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves grated or finely minced
  • Shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bread and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and stir in the garlic.
  • Generously brush each slice with the garlic butter. Add a pinch of salt or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top before or immediately after broiling for a gooey, melty finish.

Notes

Watch the bread closely while broiling to prevent the garlic from burning.
If using cheese, sprinkle it on before broiling for a melted texture or after broiling for a fresh finish.
Bread should be sliced thinly for optimal crispiness.
