Make thin slices horizontally, then vertically to make batonnets, or matchsticks. Keep the batonnets together and slice them crosswise, making small chopped pieces of garlic. Continue to go over the garlic with your knife, once in a while turning your knife horizontal (with the edge away from you!) and dragging it over the garlic sideways. This will help flatten and break down the garlic. Keep chopping and dragging your knife over the garlic until you've made a paste. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic paste, chopped parsley, salt, and a twist of fresh cracked black pepper. Use a rubber spatula or gloved hands to mix until thoroughly combined. Slice your bread 3/4" to 1" thick. Spread an even coating of butter on each side of the bread, making sure to reach all the way to the crust. Heat your griddle on the stovetop. Place the buttered bread on the hot griddle and allow to toast until golden brown. To get an even browning, it helps to weigh it down with another heavy pan. Flip the toast and brown the other side. Enjoy immediately for the tastiest Texas toast. Recipe by Risa Lichtman, Portland, Oregon. RECIPE FROM: https://www.tasteofhome.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
