12. Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1 inch (2 ½ cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
13. In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
14. Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
15. Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
