• Allow the butter to soften at room temperature. Make your life so much easier by taking the butter out of the fridge 30 minutes before you plan on spreading it.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the baguette. To make sure you get a clean cut down the middle of the loaf, use a serrated knife and a slow, sawing motion.

• Experiment with different cheeses. You can use just about any cheese that melts well. Feel free to use your favorite!
• Use a store-bought garlic butter. If you have a favorite store-bought of homemade garlic butter lying around, this is the perfect recipe to use it! You can also add some minced fresh garlic if you’re obsessed with garlic.
