Fresh Basil Roasted Garlic Toast

• 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/2 inch slices

1. Slice the tops off of each garlic head and drizzle olive oil and salt and pepper over the tops.
2. Wrap up the garlic heads in a piece of foil and roast for 30-45 minutes on 400 degrees.
3. When the cloves are tender and cooled, squeeze them out into a small bowl along with the softened butter, chopped basil and additional salt and pepper. Mix well until mixture is well-combined.
4. Spread a thin layer of the garlic mixture over each piece of bread.
5. Place the bread slices single layered on a baking sheet and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Broil in the oven for about 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Serve hot!
