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

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 slices, being careful not to cut all the way through—leave the base intact so it stays connected.

Step 3

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until smooth but not boiling.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley, thyme, and oregano finely, and stir them into the butter mixture.

Step 6

Add the salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the butter mixture. Stir until well-combined.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Wrap the bread loosely in aluminum foil to prevent it from over-crisping, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
