Garlic Bread

I think this is the only way to make garlic bread. The olive oil and rubbed garlic gives such great bold flavor.

1 Loaf of white or wheat french bread - cut in 1/2 inch thick slices
Extra virgin olive oil
2 big cloves of garlic - peeled
Salt
Dry or fresh finely chopped parsley

*Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Lay sliced bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the bread with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Toast the bread in 500 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it! I'm sort of famous for burning the bread and setting the smoke alarm off. When the bread is toasty brown at the edges, remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. When the bread is cool enough to handle; rub the surface of each slice with peeled garlic clove. Sprinkle bread with parsley and serve.

~Note: If you put the olive oil in a little condiment squeeze bottle it makes the drizzling much easier (see picture).

Serves 6-8
