1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
¾cupOlive oil
2teaspoonsMashed garlic
1tablespoonVery finely minced chives
1tablespoonVery finely minced basil
1tablespoonVery finely minced parsley
½teaspoonSalt
½teaspoonFreshly ground black pepper
1Long loaf of fresh; crusty french bread

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all of the ingredients except the French bread and let them sit for 15 minutes. Slice the bread into thin slices. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with the herbed olive oil. Bake the slices at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are crisply toasted and light golden in color. (Chef Barickman serves with Crab Dip...says the herbed olive oil on the bread is mild and doesn't distract from the flavor of the dip.)
