Garlic Bites

Homemade Garlic Bread or Bites beat the store bought ones because you can use a healthier bread as your base and you can use fresh garlic in olive oil instead of frozen herbed garlic butter loaded with preservatives and salt!

These bites make great accompaniment to soups or they can be served as party appetizers. I have used a lot of garlic, an entire bulb to be precise, but if you are not a fan of this pungent but health miracle, reduce to your preference. The same goes for the scallions.
   
And if you are a garlic fan like me, then would you agree that there is nothing more heavenly than the beautiful aroma of fried garlic?

Here is the recipe for my last post (for the time being) in my series of Bites :
 
Ingredients ( for 6 Garlic Bites)

2 tbsp EVOO

10 garlic cloves, pounded or ground

6 slices of multigrain baguette

2 stalks of scallions, sliced thinly or 1 tsp dried chives

A pinch of sea salt

Method

Heat a pot with EVOO and fry the pounded garlic till very light golden brown.
Add in the scallions and toss in the pinch of sea salt. Not too much because the baguette usually comes with sufficient sodium.
Switch off the fire after a minute and spread this garlic scallion mix over the baguette evenly.
Grill in the toaster for 5 minutes or till golden brown around the baguette slices and on the top. If you grilling large quantities, you can use the oven at 350 deg F or 180 deg C for 5-10 mins. Do keep an eye so that baguette slices don't burn.
