What it is
This is a frozen bread product designed for quick preparation. It consists of thick slices of bread that have been generously coated with a garlic-infused butter or spread. The bread is typically pre-sliced for convenience, making it easy to serve individual portions. It is intended to be heated in an oven or toaster oven until golden brown and crispy.

To prepare, remove the frozen slices from their packaging. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

The exact baking time will vary depending on your oven and desired level of crispness. You can also toast individual slices in a toaster oven, watching carefully to prevent burning.
