👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Use a high-quality baguette for the best flavor and texture.
2

Drizzle olive oil over the baguette slices, then sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the bread. Toss gently to coat.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: The bread should be lightly coated with oil and garlic.
3

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast the bread for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the bread halfway through the toasting time.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Doneness test: The bread should be toasted to a golden brown, with a crispy crust.
4

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle chopped basil leaves over the bread, then season with salt to taste.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: The basil leaves should be evenly distributed over the bread.
5

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bread, if using. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the bread, if using.

⏱️ 1 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: The bread should be lightly coated with balsamic glaze and Parmesan cheese, if using.
