Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette or sourdough bread
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or sourdough loaf into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed in the butter.

Step 4

Spread a generous amount of the herbed garlic butter mixture over each slice of bread, covering the entire surface.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.

Step 6

For an extra crispy and golden finish, switch the oven to broil and toast the slices for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the herbed garlic toast from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side with soups, salads, or pasta dishes, or enjoy as a standalone snack.
