Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
If you’re not a fan of anchovies, consider substituting with sun-dried tomatoes for a different yet equally delightful twist!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
- Brush each slice with olive oil, ensuring they’re well-coated for that perfect crunch. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a small pan over medium heat, add 1/4 cup olive oil and warm it gently.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the chopped anchovies and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 2 minutes until the anchovies melt into the oil.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the garlic anchovy mixture over each slice.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish.
As my abuela always said, “cook with your senses,” so feel free to adjust the ingredients to match your taste preferences!
