Bite-Size Garlic Bread With Fresh Herbs

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450u00b0F. Spread cubed bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until browned but still soft inside, 7 to 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, place the white wine and garlic in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce the wine until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. (Be careful not to reduce too much and scorch the wine and the garlic.) Scrape wine-garlic mixture into a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Add the butter, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and salt to the bowl with the wine-garlic mixture. Use a wooden spoon to fully incorporate the ingredients into the butter. Leave at room temperature until serving.

4. 4

   Spread a generous amount (about 3/4 teaspoon) of the flavored butter onto one side of each toast cube. Arrange toast cubes buttered side up on the rimmed baking sheet and return to oven until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Arrange the cubes on a serving platter and sprinkle with herbs. Serve immediately.

6. 6

   The flavored butter can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
