Ingredients- 3 slices of bread (or baguette)
- 3 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 Tbsp condensed milk
- 1.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- A pinch of parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your bread. If using sandwich bread, cut each slice into three equal pieces for easy handling. If using a baguette, slice it into rounds about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. This cutting method ensures the sauce is spread evenly and makes the bread easy to eat one piece at a time.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the garlic bread sauce. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of softened salted butter. Add 1.5 tablespoons of minced garlic for that classic garlic punch and 2 generous tablespoons of condensed milk for a touch of sweetness and a smooth consistency. For an extra touch of flavor and color, you can add a pinch of parsley flakes.
Step 3
Using a spatula or spoon, mix the butter, minced garlic, condensed milk, and parsley flakes thoroughly until everything is well combined and forms a smooth, luscious sauce. Ensure there are no lumps for the best flavor distribution.
Step 4
Generously spread the prepared garlic butter sauce over the top surface of each bread slice. Make sure to cover the edges as well, so every bite is infused with that delicious garlic butter flavor when baked.
Step 5
Now, let’s bake it using your air fryer. Place the sauced bread slices in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. If you’re using a conventional oven, preheat it to 180°C (350°F) and bake for approximately 10 minutes. It’s a good idea to check on them partway through to prevent burning.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious garlic bread is ready. Cutting it into longer pieces made it perfect for snacking, and ensures that even the crusty edges are wonderfully enjoyable. Serve them warm for the best experience. Transform your leftover bread into a delightful snack or a fantastic side dish!
