Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Large pinch cayenne pepper
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup (packed) chopped fresh cilantro
1 green onion, chopped
1 pain rustique loaf of bread
Directions
- Place the butter, cheese, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic in a processor. Process until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the cilantro and green onions. Process with on/off turns until just combined (do not puree the cilantro or onion).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the bread crosswise into as many slices as needed, each should be 1/2-inch thick and 7 to 8 inches long. Arrange the bread slices directly on the oven rack. Bake until the slices are crusty outside but still soft inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bread to a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of the seasoned butter on each slice. Bake the toasts until very hot and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot.
