2-4 small baguettes homemade recipe linked, or use store bought, sliced in half, or sliced French bread
5 tbsp butter softened
2 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili flakes for heat, optional
1 tbsp parsley

If you are baking homemade bread do this 2 days before. Save in a bag when cooled but a few hours before prepping this leave it out in the open to get to a bit of a day old texture.
Mix together your melted or softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chili flakes, and dried oregano. Add grated parmesan and give a final mix.
Generously spread the butter mixture onto the baguette slices or French bread slices. ** For air fryer ** Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F . Place bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
Cook for 5 minutes until light golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, serve warm and enjoy
** For oven ** Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until crisped to your liking.
