Recipe courtesy of Vivienne Tunba
|
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
|
- 1 long day-old French baguette or similar French-style bread (not sourdough though)
|
Preheat oven to 350º F. Heat oil and butter together with garlic until butter is melted. (The garlic can steep in the oil for several hours, if desired.)
With a sharp, serrated knife, cut the bread into 1/4-inch thick slices on a diagonal. Brush slices liberally on both sides with butter-oil mixture and place on a baking sheet.
Bake until golden (about 10 minutes).
Optional: To vary the bread rounds, use a little walnut or hazelnut oil in place of some of the olive oil; sprinkle rounds with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before baking, or add your choice of chopped herbs to the oil: thyme rosemary, organo, parsley, or herbes de Provence.
Quantity: Makes about 40
Oven Temp: 350º F
Bake Time: About 10 minutes
