Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each piece.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to the mixture to create a slightly spreadable consistency. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Using a butter knife or spatula, spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter onto one side of each bread slice.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Optional: For an extra crispy texture and golden top, broil the bread on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
