Instructions
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter along with the margarine and olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes tender and fragrant. Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
After cooling for approximately 5 minutes, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh chives, and Dijon mustard until you achieve a creamy consistency.
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take slices of French bread and spread the herb-infused mixture generously on one side of each slice.
-
Place the slices on an ungreased baking sheet, buttered side up. Bake for 6-8 minutes or, for a quicker option, broil for 2-3 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.
-
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful herbed flavor of this easy French bread, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
