Garlic toast is a classic appetizer or side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It features slices of bread that are toasted and then topped with a flavorful mixture of garlic, butter, and herbs. This recipe introduces two variations of garlic toast: the classic garlic toast and the cheesy garlic toast. The classic garlic toast is made with a simple combination of garlic, butter, parsley, and salt, while the cheesy garlic toast adds a layer of melted cheese for an extra indulgent treat. Both versions are incredibly delicious and perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual gathering or a special celebration.

MAKE-AHEAD CRISPY, BUTTERY GARLIC BREAD
Steps:
- Using a fork, beat butter, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper in small bowl until combined. Spread butter mixture evenly over both sides of bread.
- Freeze the slices on a large baking sheet or plate until firm, about 15 minutes. After they are firm, transfer the slices to a freezer ziploc bag and freeze for up to one month.
- To serve, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange bread on rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown on the first side, about 10 minutes. Flip and bake until golden brown on the second side, 6-7 minutes more. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Thinly slice the bread.
- Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic with the olive oil, dried oregano, and salt. Use a brush to brush the mixture on both sides of each slice of bread and place them onto a baking sheet. Try to pick up some of the minced garlic with the brush, as it tends to sink to the bottom. (If the oil runs out, depending on your size of bread, just add a splash more to the bowl with the garlic.)
- Add a pinch of garlic powder to the top of each toast.
- Bake for 5 minutes until the crust is crisp but the inside is still soft. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:

- Slice the baguette diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
- Lay the slices in one layer on a sheet pan, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned and crisp. As soon as they're cool enough to handle, rub the top of the toasts with a cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.
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.

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.

MAKE-AHEAD GARLIC TOAST
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!

Tips:
- To make the garlic butter, use a microplane to finely grate the garlic cloves. This will help the garlic flavor distribute evenly throughout the butter.
- Use good quality bread for the garlic toast. A sturdy bread, such as a baguette or ciabatta, will hold up well to the garlic butter and toasting.
- Be generous with the garlic butter when brushing it on the bread. This will ensure that the garlic toast is flavorful and delicious.
- Toast the garlic toast until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to bring out the flavor of the garlic butter and make the toast more enjoyable.
- Serve the garlic toast immediately while it is still warm and crispy. It can be served as a side dish or appetizer, or it can be used to make sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Make-ahead garlic toast is a delicious and convenient way to enjoy this classic side dish. By preparing the garlic butter and toasting the bread ahead of time, you can have garlic toast ready in just a few minutes. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights or for entertaining guests. Whether you serve it as a side dish, appetizer, or sandwich, make-ahead garlic toast is sure to be a hit.
