Ingredients

1 large loaf of crusty French or Italian bread

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two long halves.

Spread the garlic chimichurri butter mixture generously over each half of the bread. Ensure the mixture reaches the edges for maximum flavor.

If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the garlic butter spread.

Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

For an extra crispy top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice into individual pieces to serve.
