Use this ten minute quick method for getting delicious homemade garlic toast in the oven. Vary the type of bread or thickness for a perfect garlic toast for your meal!
Preheat your oven's broiler to medium and place the rack into the second to highest setting. (This should be about 6 inches from the heat source).
Cut the baguette on a bias (at an angle) into thirty pieces, discarding the heels. Each piece will be about ⅓" thick. Place each slice on a baking sheet and brush one side with the olive oil. Place the garlic toast in the oven and cook for three minutes. It should just start browning on the edges.
Remove the bread from the oven and rub each slice with the garlic cloves (like you're coloring it). Flip over the piece as you're done and put it back on the baking sheet. Optional: If using the parmesan cheese, sprinkle on top of each slice after it has been flipped.
Return the garlic toast to the oven and cook for another two minutes. The garlic toast should be browned and the cheese melted. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
