1. Heat Olive Oil
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This step doesn’t take long, but it sets the stage for a well-seasoned dish.
2. Toast Bread Crumbs
Once the oil is warm, it’s time to add the fresh bread crumbs. Sprinkle in a pinch of kosher salt and a few good cracks of freshly ground black pepper. Keep the bread crumbs moving with a spoon or spatula to ensure even browning, aiming for a golden brown color, which should take about 4 minutes.
3. Add Garlic
Stir in the finely chopped garlic, and continue to cook and toss the mixture for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the garlic to infuse the bread crumbs with its toasty, aromatic flavor.
4. Cool Bread Crumbs
Once everything is beautifully golden and fragrant, transfer the bread crumbs to a small bowl and let them cool. These toasty, garlicky bread crumbs can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to enjoy, simply rewarm in a skillet.
