Food & Cooking Recipes Breakfast & Brunch Recipes Bread Recipes Toasted Garlic-Butter-and-Herb Bread Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 15 mins Servings: 8 Use mini baguettes, hoagies, or ciabatta rolls to make these quick garlic-herb toasts, which are perfect for dipping in a dish like Saffron-and-Orange-Scented Seafood Stew—or any soup, for that matter. While the broiler is heating, slice the bread and mix the butter, garlic, herbs, and red pepper flakes together. Then toast the bread and spread it with the garlicky butter. Broil until the slices are crisp and golden brown, and serve. Directions Preheat broiler, with rack 6 to 8 inches below element. In a bowl, stir together butter, garlic, herbs, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Broil bread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack, split side up, until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide butter mixture among toasts, spreading evenly to edges. Broil until crisp and golden brown in places and butter is sizzling, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm. Credit: Lennart Weibull
