Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through—leave the base intact so it stays connected.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until smooth but not boiling.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter.
Chop the fresh parsley, thyme, and oregano finely, and stir them into the butter mixture.
Add the salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the butter mixture. Stir until well-combined.
Using a pastry brush or small spoon, carefully spread the herbed garlic butter mixture between each slice and also on the top surface of the loaf.
Wrap the bread loosely in aluminum foil to prevent it from over-crisping, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Then, carefully unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden, crisp top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
