The Ingredients for My Quick Herb Baguette

Whether as a side for grilling or a quick snack, I bake my herb baguette for any occasion. My simple recipe uses a pre-made baguette, which you fill with my fresh herb butter. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Baguette: I keep it easy by using a pre-baked baguette from my favourite bakery. It makes everything quick and effortless.
  • Butter: The baguette is filled with homemade herb butter. Make sure the butter is at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Herbs: I always have a pack of mixed frozen herbs in the freezer. If you prefer, you can use fresh herbs of your choice. I especially like parsley, chives, cress, and chervil.
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a flavorful kick to the butter.
  • Salt and Pepper: Just a touch of salt and pepper to season.
