I love this because I always have leftover bread and it goes to waste most of the time. The best part is that you can pull out as many pieces as you want and bake them straight from the freezer!

MAKE AHEAD GARLIC TOAST OMAC

This makes a delicious garlic toast that I make for my family about once a week with spaghetti or a simlar dish. My family of 4 never uses even half a loaf of french bread to make garlic toast, but it is a must have for italian dinners in our house so I came up with this recipe to reduce waste and save me some time. You can't even tell it has been frozen.

Time 30m

Yield 48 Slices, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 loaves French bread (16 oz each)
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons bottled garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 -4 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley

Steps:

Slice French bread into slices about 3/4" thick. I usually get about 24 slices per loaf.
If needed soften butter in microwave on low power for 30 - 60 seconds until it is soft enough to mix the seasonings into and spread easily.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
Spread a little more than 1 tsp of mixture onto each slice of bread.
Flash freeze the slices layed out flat on cookie sheets in your freezer. (This is important if you freeze them in a stack they are very hard to seperate later.).
Stack into groups as your family would eat with one meal and wrap in saran wrap. I usually make a package of 6.
When ready to use bake right from freezer at 350 degrees for 4 - 8 minutes depending on how crispy you like your toast.
*For an extra sinful garlic toast sprinkle with mozzarella cheese before baking.

Tips:

Use high-quality bread for your garlic toast. A good loaf of French bread or Italian bread will give you the best results.
Brush the bread with olive oil before toasting. This will help the bread to brown evenly and prevent it from drying out.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder, but it won't be as flavorful.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when you're toasting the bread. This will prevent the bread from toasting evenly.
Keep an eye on the bread while it's toasting. You don't want it to burn.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead garlic toast is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, or for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of garlic toast that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give make-ahead garlic toast a try.
