Shallot Toasts

Here is another recipe that is almost too easy to post, but it is simple and wonderful, and pairs perfectly with yesterday's salad.  So we figured, what the heck, everyone is looking for the easy way out from time to time.  The funny thing about these Shallot Toasts though, is that they sure don't taste like the easy way out!

INGREDIENTS:
-6 half inch slices of Italian bread
-1 Tbs butter, melted
-Garlic powder
-Kosher salt
-1 shallot, minced

Seriously friends, this is about as easy as it gets!  Preheat the over to 350 degrees.  While the oven is heating, slice the bread.  Brush each slice generously with melted butter.  Sprinkle with garlic powder and kosher salt (it is up to you how much you like!).  Finally, top the toasts with the minced shallot.  Bake the bread for about 15 minutes or until it gets crispy and the shallots get soft.  The flavors come together beautifully, making these toasts the perfect accompaniment to any summer salad!

Sometimes we just like things to be simple!
