Kittencal'S Garlic Parmesan Crostini - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread (the long narrow kind)
3/4 cup butter (no subs please!)
2 teaspoons garlic powder (or to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or more if needed)

Preparation

Cut the French bread into about 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch slices (I cut them diagonally).
Microwave the butter and garlic powder and salt until melted.
Set oven to 350\u00b0 (use a convection oven bake if you have it).
Lightly butter the bottom of a large cookie/baking sheet with butter-garlic mixture.
Add in the parsley to the melted butter and mix well.
Using a pastry brush, coat each side of the bread slices with the melted butter mixture.
Place on cookie sheet.
Sprinkle one side (can sprinkle both sides if desired) with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for about 5-6 minutes (if using a convection bake there is no need to turn over).
Turn over the slices and bake about 4-5 minutes more, depending on how crispy you like them.
Best served warm.
