Make Ahead Garlic Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Mix butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange Italian bread on a large baking sheet and spread each slice with garlic butter mixture. Place baking sheet in freezer and freeze until bread solid, about 1 hour. Transfer bread to a resealable plastic freezer bag until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange desired number of slices, butter-side up, on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread is toasted and butter is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Cut each slice in half; place plain side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

Steps:

• Slice French bread into slices about 3/4" thick. I usually get about 24 slices per loaf.
• If needed soften butter in microwave on low power for 30 - 60 seconds until it is soft enough to mix the seasonings into and spread easily.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
• Spread a little more than 1 tsp of mixture onto each slice of bread.
• Flash freeze the slices layed out flat on cookie sheets in your freezer. (This is important if you freeze them in a stack they are very hard to seperate later.).
• Stack into groups as your family would eat with one meal and wrap in saran wrap. I usually make a package of 6.
• When ready to use bake right from freezer at 350 degrees for 4 - 8 minutes depending on how crispy you like your toast.
• *For an extra sinful garlic toast sprinkle with mozzarella cheese before baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
• Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Split sandwich rolls in half lengthwise and set aside.
• Place peeled garlic cloves into food processor and pulse a few times to mince.
• Add softened butter, garlic powder, black pepper, and half of the cheese. Process mixture until smooth and fluffy.
• Spread generously onto each sandwich roll. Place rolls face up on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining cheese onto the rolls, pressing down to make it stick. (note: you can process all the cheese with the butter, if you want. It works either way.).
• Sprinkle rolls with dried parsley.
• Cover and freeze until firm, then store in sealable freezer bags.
• When ready to bake, take out the number of frozen rolls you want to serve, and bake at 450°F for about 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned around the edges.
