Butter and oil – A mix of butter and oil is perfect for this recipe. This toast is going to be pan-fried, so you want the flavor of butter but because butter has a tendency to brown quickly, we’re going to add a bit of oil, which will make the toast extra crisp.
Garlic – I like the simplicity of using garlic powder, which is incredibly garlicky, and has the bonus of mixing into the butter smoothly, but if you want to mince up some fresh garlic, that will take this toast over the top.
Parsley – Dried parsley has come a long way! I keep a bottle in the pantry and add it to the garlic butter for those iconic green flecks. You can also just chop up some fresh parsley if you have it on hand.
Salt and pepper – How much salt depends on if you’re using salted or unsalted butter. Freshly ground black pepper adds a tiny bit of heat, add to taste.
