Ingredients

• ½ cup homemade strawberry jam

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet, cut side up.
3. Lightly toast the baguette in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until the crust is golden and slightly crispy.
4. Remove the baguette from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly.
5. Generously spread the softened butter on each half of the baguette.
6. Spoon the homemade strawberry jam over the buttered baguette halves, ensuring even coverage.
7. Slice each baguette half into individual servings and arrange them on a rustic wooden cutting board for a charming presentation.
8. Serve immediately with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for a delightful breakfast experience.

Helpful Tips:

• Try experimenting with different jam flavors such as raspberry, apricot, or blueberry for a new twist.
• If you prefer a crunchier texture, leave the baguette in the oven for an extra 2-3 minutes.
• For beginners, ensuring the butter is at room temperature will make it easier to spread evenly.

Storage Instructions:

• Store any leftover baguette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheat slightly in the oven before serving to refresh the texture.

Pairings:

This baguette pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes and drinks. Enjoy it with a fresh fruit salad, Greek yogurt with honey, or a steaming cup of herbal tea for a balanced and refreshing meal.
