  5. Using a bread knife, make several parallel vertical cuts into each baguette, approx. 2½ cm/± 1 in. apart. Making sure not to slice completely through. Fill cuts with butter mixture.

TupperTip: You can replace the basil with rocket (arugula). For optimal
chopping, after washing your basil or ruccola, always dry thoroughly
using a kitchen towel or Salad Spinner.
