You may have seen this recipe in the Relish section of the paper. I cooked it tonight and it was very tasty. Don’t skimp on the garlic. It’s really good!

- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded (chiffonade) basil leaves
- 24 (1/4-inch-thick) slices baguette
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
