HERB TOASTS
These toasts are nice with dips and I also serve them with soups. Pita bread is a good substitute; they are smaller so use a few extra. This also works with tortillas, but then you don't split them.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Split the bread horizontally.
- Brush all four circles with the oil or butter; sprinkle the combined herbs over the bread.
- Put them on oven trays and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
- You can cut the bread in pieces before baking or carefully break them up after they are baked and cooled, this gives a more"rustic" look For variations add: garlic, cayenne, paprika or some fresh grated Parmesan.
DECADENT MEDITERRANEAN HONEYED OLIVE OIL TOASTS
I'm not just an 80's fanatic, I'm also a bigtime gaming dork! I was playing the Quest For Glory 2 VGA remake and there's different foods you can buy. One of them is bread, which is described as being slowly toasted with olive oil, honey, and spices. That sounded delicious so I decided to make my own! This is a nice appetizer that would be a perfect accompaniment to falafel, cucumber salad, and/or stuffed grape leaves. A nice breakfast toast with a cup of mint tea! I used a Whole Foods 12" baguette that I cut into "sandwich size" pieces. The honey is approximated; I just sqooshed some on. The trick in making this bread taste great and come out the right way is all in the method rather than the ingredients :)

Steps:
- Mix the dry spices together in a small dish.
- Cut the bread into 4 pieces as if you were making two 6" sandwiches.
- Measure out the olive oil into another small dish-- with a pastry or BBQ brush, brush all the olive oil onto the pieces of bread right side up (about 1 tablespoon for each slice.).
- Squoosh some honey generously onto each piece of bread in a horizontal line, roughly 1 teaspoon. Use the BBQ brush to spread and mix the honey into the breads.
- With your thumb and forefingers, pinch the spice mix and spread onto all the pieces of bread.
- Put the breads on a cookie sheet and toast for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on top-- I use my toaster/convection oven.
