Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider substituting dill or basil for the herbs in the butter mixture. If you prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based butter alternative. For extra crunch, try adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top before baking. Be sure to use a thin layer of herb butter to avoid soggy toast.
