Garlic Crisps

I originally wanted to make garlic bread, but I did not have a baguette (or French loaf), so I had to make do with normal sliced white bread. because white bread is so much thinner than what garlic bread is normally, I am calling this 'Garlic Crisps'. I simply made a batch of garlic butter, and then spread it onto some sliced white bread, cut into triangles. I topped it with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and toasted it in my sandwich press.

If you don't mind butter (ie. fat), this is delicious. If you love garlic bread, but hate that the flavour doesn't penetrate deep enough, try this. It's buttery garlicky goodness all the way through.
