Ingredients

  • 6 large garlic cloves chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup basil chopped
  • ¼ cup oregano leaves chopped
  • ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 loaf french baguette
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For Cheese Bread:

  • 2 Tablespoons parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, mince your garlic. Then add the parsley, basil, oregano, salt & pepper and mince it as well. In the original recipe it said pulse twice, but I found the pieces were still a bit big so I pulsed several more times.
  • In a medium pan on the stove, heat up the olive oil and then add the garlic herb mixture. Remove from the heat once heated through.
  • I baked mine a little different than the original recipe based more on what I traditionally do. Spread 1 Tablespoon of butter on each side of bread.
  • Next spread the garlic mixture across each slice of bread. Sometimes I wrap the bread in aluminum foil to bake, but this time I left it uncovered face up.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 5-10 minutes.
  • We usually remove the bread at about the 5 minute mark, add some Parmesan cheese and then some shredded mozzarella to make it into cheesy bread. You can see it in the background of two of the photos before we popped it back into the oven for about 3-5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
