• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces bread slices

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
