Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Ingredient

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cloves garlic (minced very fine)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 (8-ounce) loaf French baguette or similar style bread (for best results, use day-old bread)
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Pinch of cayenne

  • Strain the garlic oil over the bread cubes, pressing the garlic with the back of a spoon to get every drop of garlicky goodness. Toss with a spatula until the bread is evenly coated.
