Learn how to make homemade garlic bread, crispy and full of flavor!
You know that little bread roll that was left over from the day before and that almost always ends up in the trash? Well, it can be transformed into an irresistible side dish!
Today we’re going to teach you how to reuse these breads in a simple and tasty way, preparing a toast seasoned with garlic that will win everyone over — whether at a Sunday barbecue or as a quick snack on a daily basis.
In addition to avoiding waste, this recipe is economical, easy to make and full of flavor. Let’s take a look at the step by step.
Ingredients:
- 5 French breads
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 200 g mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons of oregano (or dried parsley, if you prefer)
Preparation method:
Start by squeezing the garlic cloves with a garlic press (or grating them). The amount can be adjusted according to your taste — here at home, even the kids love it with lots of garlic!
Add the crushed garlic to the mayonnaise and mix well until a smooth cream forms.
Add the oregano and mix again. It makes all the difference in flavor, but if you prefer, you can replace it with dried parsley.
Cut the bread into slices about an inch thick. They don’t need to be too thick. This will ensure that they are nice and crispy and tasty.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. To make it easier, crumple the paper or dampen the pan before lining it, so the paper doesn’t curl.
Using the back of a spoon (or a knife, if you prefer), generously spread the garlic mixture on each slice, as if you were spreading margarine.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C. The time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the toast so it turns golden and crispy, and not burnt.
As the toasts are roasted, the aroma of garlic fills the kitchen — it’s simply irresistible! You can serve these toasts while they’re still warm or store them in a tightly sealed container to eat little by little.
