Ingredients

1 loaf of crusty bread (baguette or Italian loaf), sliced in half lengthwise
½ cup Challenge Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil; add more depending on the size of your bread
8-10 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2

In a medium bowl, combine the Challenge Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
3

Spread the garlic and herb butter generously over both halves of the bread.
4

Place the bread halves, buttered side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden around the edges and the butter has melted into every nook.
6

For an extra-crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes—just keep an eye on it to avoid burning the garlic.
7

Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
