8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon freshly chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 (12 to 14-inch long) French baguette, ends trimmed and cut in 1/2 lengthwise
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
Cream the butter, garlic, parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese in a small bowl
using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Spread both halves of the bread evenly with the garlic
butter and top with the remaining grated cheese. Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet,
cut sides up, and bake until fragrant and lightly golden around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes.
(Alternatively, broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.) Cut crosswise on the diagonal into1 1/2-inch slices.
