Treat your ingredients with care...
- Baguette — Choose a fresh baguette with a crispy crust for the best texture. If the baguette is slightly stale, you can lightly moisten it with water before spreading the garlic butter to prevent it from becoming too dry.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic butter before baking.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile according to your preferences.
- Serve the Préfou with a side of marinara sauce or a creamy dip for dipping.
Serving advice
Serve the Préfou warm, either as an appetizer or as a side dish. It pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine or a refreshing sparkling water.
Presentation advice
