Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 16 oz Italian Loaf or Similar Bread, Unsliced
- 7-8 Cloves of Fresh Garlic, Peeled and Minced
- 1/2 cup Vegan Butter, Unsalted, Softened
- 1/3 cup Vegan Parmesan
- 1/4 cup Chopped Parsley
- 1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, Or To Taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 F Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius) while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Slice the Bread: Using a serrated bread knife, evenly slice your bread. You want to have large cuts to help keep the centers of the toast soft and delightful.
- Prepare Baking Tray: Cover a half-size sheet tray with some parchment paper. Then place your bread slices on the tray.
- Mix the Vegan Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, add your softened vegan butter, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix them together with a spatula.
- Butter the Bread: Take the butter mixture and add it to each slice of bread. Make sure to add a little to each piece at a time to make sure each one gets an even amount of the mixture.
- Cover in Vegan Cheese: Shred the vegan parmesan over the bread to cover the tops of each.
- Bake: Place the tray in the in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until your bread is to the crispiness you desire.
- Serve: Sprinkle on fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Note 1: The better the crumb on the bread you buy, the better tasting it will be! Going for the more expensive loaf can make this recipe even more special.
- Note 2: Margarine can be used in a pinch if you can't find vegan butter sticks. Olive oil can work too!
- Note 3: Other vegan cheese should work just as well. Vegan mozzarella would be perfect as a replacement. Can't find any vegan cheese near you? Our 5-minute Vegan Mozzarella Stretchy Cheese Sauce or our Vegan Ricotta would also work great in this recipe! Simply prepare the recipe as instructed and spread on the sliced bread. You could mix in the garlic and butter or do it in separate layers.
- Note 4: Minced Garlic from a jar will work almost as well if you don't have garlic cloves. It's just hard to beat fresh ingredients. You could also mix in 1-2 teaspoons (to taste) of garlic powder into the butter mixture instead.
