Ingredients
- 1 whole French or artisan-style bread loaf
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat once the mixture is aromatic but before the garlic browns.
Step 3
3. Cut the bread loaf into 1-inch thick slices, but avoid cutting all the way through the bottom crust so that the loaf remains intact.
Step 4
4. Carefully spread the butter-herb-chili mixture into the cuts between each slice, ensuring the mixture seeps into the bread.
Step 5
5. Brush the top and sides of the loaf with any remaining mixture for additional flavor.
Step 6
6. Place the prepared loaf onto the preheated grill. Close the grill lid if possible, and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden, toasted, and slightly crisp.
Step 7
7. Remove from the grill and let the bread rest for about 2 minutes. Slice through completely before serving.
Step 8
8. Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
