- 1/2 cup butter
 - 3 cloves garlic, sliced
 - 1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread, halved lengthwise

 - Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
 - Place bread loaf halves under the preheated broiler to toast, 2 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
