Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, then cut each half into smaller, manageable pieces if desired.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 15-second intervals until fully melted, then let it cool slightly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press.
Finely chop the parsley and set aside.
Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, olive oil, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette.
Place the coated bread halves face-up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 2 minutes, and serve warm.
