Ingredients
  

1 large baguette or Italian loaf

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 large cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Freshly chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Slice the Bread: Use a serrated knife to slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Optionally, you can make diagonal cuts along each half to create individual pieces.

        Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the herb-infused butter mixture over the cut surfaces of the baguette halves. Make sure to cover them generously for maximum flavor.

          Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re a cheese lover, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the buttered halves for an extra layer of savory goodness.

            Wrap the Bread: Wrap each half in aluminum foil, ensuring that they are sealed well to trap in the moisture.

              Bake: Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. If you prefer a crustier top, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, take the baguette out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the top before slicing into generous portions.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious side to pasta, salads, or even on its own as a delightful appetizer!
