A baguette split and slathered with garlic-parsley butter, baked until the edges crisp. Disappears faster than it bakes.

Ingredients

• Baguette × 1
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 80 g Butter
• 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh)

Method

1. Prep & Preheat

   

   Preheat the oven to 240°C. Soften the butter in the microwave for 10 seconds — it should be easy to spread but not melted.

2. Chop Parsley

   

   Pull the leaves off the parsley stems and finely chop. Chop fine enough that the parsley disappears into the garlic butter for an even green flecking.

3. Garlic Butter

   

   In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley and garlic (chopped or grated).

4. Prep Bread

   

   Cut the baguette in half lengthwise. If you can't find baguette, any crusty bread will work!

5. Bake

   

   Place the baguette on a baking sheet and spread the butter mixture over the two bread halves. Put the two halves back together and bake at 240°C for 8 minutes until the butter has melted in and the crust is crisp.

6. Serve

   

   Take the bread out of the oven and cut into slices. It's ready to eat!
