Title: Herb Toasts for Dipping
Categories: Veg01
Yield: 1 servings

3/4 c Olive oil
2 ts Mashed garlic
1 tb Very finely minced chives
1 tb Very finely minced basil
1 tb Very finely minced parsley
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 Long loaf of fresh; crusty
-french bread

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.)
