Toast the bread slices until golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the toast is hot, rub the surface of each slice with the minced garlic. A little goes a long way!
Drizzle or brush the oil evenly over the garlic-rubbed toast.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over each slice.
If using optional dried herbs, sprinkle them on top now.
Serve immediately and enjoy your unexpectedly delicious budget bite!
💡 Pro Tips:
- 🍞 No bread? No problem! Use crackers, rice cakes, or even leftover cold pasta if you're truly adventurous (and hungry!).
- 🔥 Want a little heat? Add a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- 🌿 If you happen to have any dried herbs (like oregano or basil), sprinkle a tiny pinch on top after cooking for extra flair!
