Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp chopped oregano, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Spread 2 tbsp butter mixture evenly on each 1/2-inch slice of baguette, then top with 1 tsp additional mixture per slice. Arrange slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and crisp, rotating the sheet halfway through for even browning.
  4. Step 4: Immediately transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 2 minutes before serving. The bread should be crisp on the outside and soft inside with aromatic garlic and herb notes.
