Garlic Toast

Updated: Jun 28, 2022


I know there are hundreds upon hundreds of variations on making garlic toast. From garlic confit to roasted garlic to the viral Korean cheesy garlic. This is simply my go-to garlic toast recipe. Whenever I have leftover baguettes lying around, I would make Margherita or this Garlic toast.



This recipe requires a bit of effort and time. But it is worth it in the end. What you get is a cwispy and chewy toast with flavorsome garlicky, earthy, not too cheesy toast. And yes! The white wine does help a bit.



When I wanna get fancy, I can use garlic confit or roasted garlic instead of just plain raw garlic, maybe even black garlic. But it is 7 in the morning. Ya know what I mean. I really hope you will give my version of garlic toast a try.

  7. Allow the garlic to simmer in the oil for about 3 to 5 mins or until aromatic.

  8. *If the heat is too high, the garlic will burn.*
