I make mini garlic toast. Slice up french bread, add a tiny bit of marjarine sprinkle with garlic salt and if you want, add some grated cheddar soy cheese. Put in the oven for just a few minutes on broil (low) until cheese melts and the edges of the bread are brown. Fabulous with pasta!!

I make a version that has never given me trouble at all. But, I've also been using a LOT of garlic for a lot of years, so if you normally use just a little I'd tone down the recipe.
I take several big fresh garlic cloves and puree them till they're a smooth spread. Either use a little mini food processor, or blender, or whack them with a broad heavy knife, chop finely, then keep whacking and smearing with the flat side of the knife till you have a paste. Adding in some coarse salt as you chop/smear really helps make the paste smooth.
I add the paste to just a teaspoon or so of olive oil, then spread the paste on horizontally sliced baguettes and broil till brown. Basically, the paste is all garlic and just enough oil to bind it. The broiling takes the bite out, and I think the salt tones things down too.
Best,
Heather
