Addictive Garlic Toast - baguette

Method

• Soften the butter by microwaving it briefly or leaving it out for a while.
• Combine with the grated garlic and finely chopped parsley.
• Make deep cuts in the baguette in 2 cm increments (but don't slice all the way through).
• Spread the Step 1 butter generously between the slices.
• Bake in a oven (500 W) until lightly browned.
• Be careful not to let it burn!
• Storing: Wrap the sliced baguette from Step 2 tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze.
• Let it defrost at room temperature, and spread with the butter mixture and bake.
• You can use 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of butter.
• Add 2 small pinches of salt in that case.
• Drizzle the oil on the bread so that it sinks in.
• The oil version is lighter than the buttered version.
