Grilled Garlic Bread With Basil and Parmesan image

Garlic, cheese and basil on bread is a classic to go with pasta, but this recipe is made on the grill. With few ingredients (and things to carry), it can be a great addition to a campout or cookout. And, despite the utility involved in cooking outdoors, it's also elegant.

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 slices rustic, crusty country bread, 3/4-inch thick
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 large garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Light a grill or turn heat to high. Drizzle both sides of bread with olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, until one side is crisp and beginning to char.
  • Remove bread from grill and rub grilled side thoroughly with the cut garlic. Evenly distribute Parmesan on the grilled side and return toast to the grill, cheese side up. Close lid and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, slice each piece of toast in half and serve garnished with basil leaves.
