Garlic Ritz Bits Bread Recipe
Ingredients
1 small loaf of French bread or Italian bread, sliced
1 cup Ritz Bits crackers (cheddar or peanut butter flavor), crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust for garlic preference)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for a cheesy flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic. Stir well.
3. Crush Ritz Bits: Place the Ritz Bits in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble Bread: Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice generously with the garlic butter mixture.
5. Top with Ritz Bits: Sprinkle the crushed Ritz Bits evenly over each slice, pressing lightly so they stick to the butter.
6. Season and Garnish: Add salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve and Enjoy!
