Ingredients

1 Fresh Long Italian Baguette (12 1" slices)
8 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
5 Anchovy Filets
1 tablespoon Honey
2 tablespoon Freshly Chopped Parsley
½ Tsp. Salt *Only if using UNSALTED butter
4-5 Large Cloves Garlic

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and take your butter out of the fridge to allow it to come to room temperature.
Peel off the skin of your garlic cloves and add the garlic cloves, whole anchovies and olive oil to a piece of tin foil big enough to fold up and lightly close the foil. (about an 8x8" square)
Place foil pack on a sheet pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
When done roasting, take out and chop up garlic and anchovies into a paste. Add paste to your butter, honey, parsley, and salt. *Option: Add to food processor or mixer and blend until combined. Set aside.
Slice your bread into 1" slices and lay on a baking sheet. Spread your garlic anchovy butter onto each slice being generous. Set oven to 'broil' and place on the middle rack until edges of your bread are browned.
Serve immediately!

Notes

*You can make this ahead of time and freeze the slices for another day. Just spread your butter onto the sliced bread and "re-assemble" the loaf. *This will help the butter not fall off or get stuck on the wrap. Wrap buttered loaf in foil or a large Ziploc bag and freeze. Then follow directions to bake straight from the freezer.
