Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette or rustic artisan bread
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or artisan bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the top of each bread slice.

Step 5

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the slices to encourage crisping during baking.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden and crispy around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the crotes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Pair with soups, salads, or pasta dishes for a delightful combination.
