Keep a jar of garlic confit around so that you can make these savory, cheesy baguette toasts at a moment’s notice.

Ingredients

4 Servings

1

head garlic, cloves peeled

½

cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1

cup grated Parmesan

2

teaspoons chopped oregano

1

teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

½

teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt

1

baguette

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook garlic in butter in a small covered saucepan over medium-low heat until golden brown and very soft, 15−20 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool.

    Step 2

    Add Parmesan, oregano, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to garlic and mash to a paste; season with kosher salt.

    Step 3

    Heat broiler. Slice baguette in half lengthwise, then crosswise. Broil, cut side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 2 minutes (watch carefully). Let cool slightly, then spread cut side with garlic paste. Broil until cheese is golden and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Slice.

  • Had high expectations for this recipe, but in the end was somewhat disappointed. Prefer our tried and true garlic butter (salted butter, couple cloves of mashed garlic, parsley and pepper). Might give it another go with different bread to see if that makes a difference.

  • this is one of the best garlic bread recipes I've ever made. Its spicey, but still cheesy, with just the right crunch. I'll definitely be making it again.

  • This recipe is so easy and delicious that I made a triple batch to keep in the fridge. It's perfect on fish, chicken, and veggies......everything! I used half butter half EVOO. Thanks BA for another terrific recipe!

  • This was super simple and a huge crowd pleaser! Already have requests to make again for Christmas. The garlic was super creamy and mellow.

  • With that much garlic, I was sure it was going to be amazing, but it ended up being rather labor intensive for the overall result. Yes, it was good, but no, I wouldn't spend the time on it again. There are quicker ways to get a great garlic bread!
