If you're a garlic lover, you'll love anti-vampire garlic bites, and they'll be adequate to scare away even the most persistent vampire. These flaky and delicious little tidbits are perfect to serve with a spaghetti dinner on Halloween night. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Unroll the phyllo dough and place it on a piece of waxed paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the phyllo dough across into 2-inch strips. Put a piece of waxed paper over the top of the phyllo strips, and then cover them with a damp kitchen towel to keep them moist while you work.
3. Lay one strip at a time on a separate piece of waxed paper and brush it with melted butter.
4. Sprinkle a bit of finely chopped almonds on the phyllo strip and put a garlic clove at one end. Roll up the strip of dough, sealing the edges as you go.
5. Brush the anti-vampire bite with a bit of extra butter and roll it in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining phyllo strips.
6. Place the anti-vampie bites on a rack and put the rack in a roasting pan and bake them until they're golden brown--20 minutes.
7. Serve the anti-vampire bites hot out of the oven.
