1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
2. Brush each slice with olive oil, ensuring they’re well-coated for that perfect crunch. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, in a small pan over medium heat, add 1/4 cup olive oil and warm it gently.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
5. Stir in the chopped anchovies and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 2 minutes until the anchovies melt into the oil.
6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spoon the garlic anchovy mixture over each slice.
8. 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!
