Garlic Dill Toasts
day old baguette, thinly sliced on the diagonal
salted butter
minced garlic
fresh dill springs
cracked black pepper
If you plan ahead, soften the butter then blend with the garlic, dill and pepper and spread on the baguette.
If not, just melt the butter, stir in garlic, dill and pepper and brush on the baguette.
Then toast in the oven until crisp.
