Remixed Garlic Bread

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 3 minutes

Preheat the broiler and arrange a rack about 6 inches from the heat.

In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and salt. Split baguette in half lengthwise, making 2 open-faced pieces. Spread butter mixture on cut sides of baguette.

Arrange baguette pieces on a rimmed baking sheet, buttered side up, and broil until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.

Note: To make a party-size portion, double the recipe.
