Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your BBQ or grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F or 175°C).
Step 2
With a sharp knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bread. Keep the bottom crust intact to hold the slices together.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, crumbled blue cheese, fresh parsley, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until it forms a soft, spreadable mixture.
Step 4
Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread the cheese and herb mixture generously between each bread slice. Ensure that the mixture is evenly distributed for full flavor in every piece.
Step 5
Wrap the prepared bread loaf tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the top and sides are fully covered to trap in heat during the cooking process.
Step 6
Place the foil-wrapped bread on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the bread halfway through, until the butter and cheese have melted and the bread is warmed through.
Step 7
Carefully remove the bread from the grill and unwrap the foil. For a crispy finish, return the uncovered bread to the grill and toast each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.
Step 8
Slice the bread all the way through and serve warm. Enjoy as is or alongside your favorite barbecue mains!
