Finn's Garlic Bread
Last night we had ravioli and a leafy green salad for dinner. My son wanted garlic toast to make the meal complete. So he described to me how he would make it and soon after that we headed to the grocery store. Got the ingredients and made our way back home. I absolutely adored how he was so excited to share his recipe with me.
Finn's garlic toast is as follows:
1 French baguette or French loaf... we bought an organic sourdough loaf
2 cloves of organic garlic, finely chopped
butter
Thyme
and parsley (optional)
Parmesan cheese, grated
*note: I did help by doing the chopping
Slice the loaf in half lengthwise. Finely chop the two cloves of garlic. Place in a small bowl. Add some butter... about 2-3 tablespoons to the bowl, you may have to add more butter depends on what you think. Melt the butter with the garlic in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir together. Place the two halves of the loaf on a lined baking tray. Spoon the garlic butter over each half. Spread with a pastry brush. Add some fresh thyme and parsley. Then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over top. Place the tray in a 350ยบ oven and bake until cheese is melted.
And here it is sliced into finger like pieces. Not a crumb was left. I thought you could have add some sliced mushrooms to the top. Just to give it something a little different. My son doesn't like mushrooms. - JW
