Remove the sautéed garlic from the pan and chop or mash it before adding it to the vegetable mixture.

Slice French bread diagonally into pieces.

Optionally, spread butter or olive oil on the bread slices.

Heat a pan and place the bread slices with the buttered side down.

Toast the bread on medium to low flame until golden and crispy, then flip to toast the other side.
