Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette or crusty loaf
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or crusty loaf diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through. The bread should remain connected at the base.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a cohesive herb butter.

Step 4

Using a butter knife or small spatula, generously spread the herbed ginger butter between each slice of bread and across the top. If you’d like extra flavor, spread some on the sides as well.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the loaf for a cheesy twist.

Step 6

Wrap the loaf loosely in foil, allowing some space for the steam to escape but keeping the bread covered. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the butter to melt and the flavors to meld.

Step 8

After 10 minutes, open the foil slightly to expose the top of the bread. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a serving plate and carefully pull apart the slices for easy serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the bold, unexpected flavor of Jen’s Mistake!
