Okay so looking at this picture you would think it is just a toasted baguette, wrong :)
I have been using this technique for years and am not sure why I have never shared it up until now. This is a healthier version of garlic bread which is usually doused in butter and chunks of garlic.
All you need is some extra virgin olive oil ( a good fat), crusty french bread, one garlic clove halved and salt and pepper.

Drizzle the oil over the bread and broil in the oven till crispy. Immediately take it out and season the bread with salt and pepper to your liking. Take the halved garlic clove and rub the cut side all over the top of the crusty bread. This will release all of the oils and flavor of the garlic onto the bread. Let cool and enjoy. Sometimes I like to add freshly grated parmesan cheese after rubbing the top with garlic.
