About Garlic toast

Garlic toast is a savory side dish made by spreading butter or margarine mixed with minced garlic and optional herbs like parsley on slices of bread, then toasting or broiling until golden. Originating from Italian cuisine, it often complements pasta dishes and soups. Its flavor comes from the aromatic richness of garlic paired with the crisp texture of toasted bread. While garlic toast provides carbohydrates from the bread and potential nutrients from garlic, such as allicin, which may support heart health, it typically contains a high amount of saturated fats depending on the butter used. Some versions may incorporate cheese for added flavor, increasing calorie and fat content. To make it healthier, whole-grain bread and olive oil can be substituted for refined grains and butter, enhancing fiber and heart-friendly fat intake. Popular and versatile, garlic toast balances indulgence with customization for varied dietary needs.
