Okay, so the other day I was really craving some good old garlic bread, but I didn’t want to heat up the whole kitchen with the big oven. I figured, why not try the toaster oven? It seemed like it should work, right? Here’s how it went down:
First, I grabbed my ingredients. Nothing fancy, just:
- A few slices of Italian bread (whatever you’ve got works, really)
- Softened butter (key for easy spreading!)
- Minced garlic (fresh is best, but the jarred stuff is fine in a pinch)
- A sprinkle of dried parsley (mostly for looks, let’s be honest)
- Some salt, salt is important!
Mixing it up!,Next up, I mixed the butter, garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Just smush it all together until it’s nice and combined. Don’t be shy with the garlic – that’s the whole point, right?
The Toaster Oven Action
I preheated my toaster oven to, I guess, around 350°F (175°C). I didn’t get too scientific with it, just made sure it was good and hot,And I placed my bread in the toaster oven.
Then, I spread that glorious garlic butter mixture all over one side of each slice of bread. Be generous with it! I don’t use any oil paper.
I popped the bread slices into the toaster oven, butter-side up. Now, the waiting game. This is where you gotta keep an eye on things. Toaster ovens can be a little unpredictable.
It only took about 5-7 minutes, maybe a bit longer, for the bread to get all golden brown and crispy. The edges were perfectly toasted, and the butter was melted and bubbly. That smell? Pure garlic heaven.
I pulled them out, let them cool for just a sec (so I didn’t burn my mouth!), and devoured them. Seriously, so good. And way easier than firing up the big oven. The toaster oven is officially my new go-to for garlic bread!
