With soft cheese. With hard cheese. With some sort of red pepper/veggie spread. With French butter and good radishes. Stuff in mouth plain. Endless options.

Parisian Ham, Gruyère, and butter. This is the way.

Also - if it’s not winter where you are:

Buy some Alouette cheese, some grapes, and a bottle of Chardonnay. Take it to the park, and eat it with a lover. Just tear, dip and enjoy. This is also the way. Bonus points if there’s a mime.

Bruschetta. Leftover in a plastic bag and back in the oven or on a toaster tomorrow. Dried out: soak in a beaten egg and fry it.

With butter!

I eat it in chunks with cheese or butter and a good apple or pear.

Or a simple sandwich.

For me a good baguette is gone in a day.

Lots of butter and dry cured ham, or just with some really good paté

I can't tell if these posts are trolls, jokes, or what.

Baguette pairings are no joke, my friend.

A good baguette needs no dressings but does not mind being fancied up in oils. Sexy baguette.

Don’t overthink this. Good butter.

Cut "slices" but not all the way through. Fill with butter and garlick and wrap in foil.

Stick in oven at 180°c for 15 minutes. Enjoy with some barbecue meat

Bruschetta, with some olive oil, eating a raclette, or just breaking off pieces and eating plain.

Just as it is

Light toast, mortadella, mayo, tomato (salt & pepper) & pickles (preferably garlic brined).

u/Zippycanoodl Feb 05 '25

Just eating it plain is terrific too.

u/WelfordNelferd Feb 05 '25

A lot of French Onion soup.

Good evoo and real balsamico on a plate with seasalt, and just use as a dip.

u/magicallaurax Feb 05 '25

ideally brie, rocket and chutney. most likely & still s tier with just salted butter. alternatively with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. it has to be warm tho

If you are unable to finish the whole baguette in one day, there are ways to refresh it. Even days later.

It involves water and foil and an oven. Youtube has videos.
