Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices, but do not cut all the way through the bottom, so the slices are still attached.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Spread the herb butter mixture between the slices of the baguette, making sure to cover each slice evenly.
- Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the bread is warm.
- Remove the baguette from the oven, unwrap the foil, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
The history of Baguette with Herb Butter dates back to 18th century France, where the iconic baguette was first created. The combination of crispy, golden baguette and creamy herb-infused butter quickly became a staple in French cuisine. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this simple yet indulgent dish, often served as an appetizer or accompaniment to a main course. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional French bistros and bakeries, where the quality of the baguette and the richness of the herb butter are paramount. The key to a perfect Baguette with Herb Butter lies in using freshly baked, crusty baguette and a flavorful herb butter made with a blend of fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and tarragon. This classic dish can also be enjoyed with variations such as garlic-infused butter or by adding a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
