Ingredients
  

1 large baguette or Italian bread loaf

6 cloves of garlic, minced

½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy twist)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Make the Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, olive oil, parsley, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, then cut it again into smaller sections for easy serving if desired. Place the bread halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up.

        Spread the Mixture: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring even coverage. If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for an extra layer of flavor.

          Bake the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bread is toasty.

            Broil for Extra Crispiness: For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!

              Serve: Remove the garlic bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Cut into individual pieces and serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
