Total time: 30 minutes

Servings: 6 to 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Dash dried red pepper flakes

8 ounces Taleggio, rind removed, flesh diced

1 baguette

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently until soft and mellowed but not browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

2. Scrape the butter and garlic into a bowl. Add the basil, parsley, pepper flakes and Taleggio. Mix well.

3. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over both cut sides. Set the bread on a baking sheet and bake until bubbly, 15 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting crosswise into 1-inch strips.
