In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a food processor.
Transfer the garlic herb butter to a small bowl and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Bread:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread or baguette into 1-inch thick slices.
Spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter on each slice of bread.
Place the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the Garlic Bread:

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter is melted and bubbly.
For a crispier texture, you can broil the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve:
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
