Treat yourself to this buttery delight tonight for a truly authentic Italian experience!

1

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2

While the oven heats, take your slices of bread and lay them out on a baking sheet.

3

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 minced clove of garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Feel free to add 1 tablespoon of any preferred herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor.

4

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage.

5

Once the oven has preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

6

Once done, remove the bruschetta from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They will be tasty even warm.
