The following quickie garlic bread is made for situations such as these. As long as you have a toaster, some olive oil, and a clove of garlic, you’re good. Of course it’s not the same as oven-roasted, butter, garlic, and herb-infused, Parmesan-crusted garlic bread. If you have the luxury of time, by all means go for the fully monty. But if not, or if you just want a few slices of toasted bread lightly touched with garlic to go with your meal, then this recipe is made for you.

Easiest Ever Garlic Bread Recipe

Prep time: 3 minutes

Ingredients 1 to 4 slices of rustic bread A drizzle of olive oil for each slice One large fresh garlic clove

Method

1 Toast one or two slices of bread.

2 Drizzle or brush a little olive oil over one side of the toasted bread.

3 Cut a garlic clove (peel still on) in half, on the diagonal. Gently rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the olive oil-brushed toasted bread.

Alternatively , you can brush the toast with the garlic first, and then drizzle with olive oil or spread with butter. Both ways work.

Tip: If you have leftover slices of garlic bread, cut them up into squares for croutons. Store in an airtight bag or jar at room temp for a day or two. You can also process them in a blender or food processor for garlicky breadcrumbs.
