Parmesan Toasts

Recipe Introduction


These crispy little toasts go well with soups and salads when you want something a little more interesting than croutons. They are not difficult to make and keep well. No matter how many of these I prepare for a get-together, the basket is always empty.

List of Ingredients




1 loaf French bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick at an angle
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional), for garnish

Recipe



Directions
Preheat the oven to broil. Dip one side of each bread slice into the melted butter. Place the Parmesan cheese on a plate and dredge the buttered bread in the cheese. Put the bread cheese side up on a baking sheet. Broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stand by the oven while doing this and don't leave; the toasts will burn if left a second too long. Remove from the oven and garnish with the parsley, if using.

Ellen's Tips: These toasts can be baked in a preheated 425 F oven for about 10 minutes, instead of baking. Italian bread also works well.
