Toasted Garlic-Butter-and-Herb Bread image

These quick herby toasts are a must make. They're just what you need to soak up broth in a dish like Saffron-and-Orange-Scented Seafood Stew. Be sure not to skimp on the stick of butter, or the garlic.

1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 mini baguettes, hoagies, or ciabatta rolls, split; or 1 large baguette or ciabatta, sliced on the bias into 1-inch-thick pieces
