This loaf is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of fresh herbs in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This recipe is a keeper! I've tried several different herb combinations, and they all work well. My favorite is rosemary, thyme, and sage.

I'm not a huge fan of bread, but this loaf is amazing. The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy. I could eat it every day!

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of butter, herbs, and cheese is perfect. I usually add a bit of minced garlic to the butter mixture for extra flavor.
