You madly dash to turn on the broiler and then realize that the soup, sauce, or whatever will be cold by the time the garlic bread is done. A wave of disappointment overtakes you as you realize what you will be missing. But it would be so much better with garlic bread! The following quickie garlic bread is made for situations such as these. As long as you have a toaster, some olive oil, and a clove of garlic, you’re good. Of course it’s not the same as oven-roasted, butter, garlic, and herb-infused, Parmesan-crusted garlic bread. If you have the luxury of time, by all means go for the fully monty. But if not, or if you just want a few slices of toasted bread lightly touched with garlic to go with your meal, then this recipe is made for you. Alternatively, you can rub the toast with the garlic first, and then drizzle with olive oil or spread with butter. Both ways work.
