I thought this was absolutely wonderful, but DH didn't care for it. It took me longer than the 10 minute prep time stated. I made as directed, except did not add the quartered artichoke hearts on top. I was a little concerned about the amount of garlic, I used about 6 or 7 cloves, to make the 2 tbls called for. But, to me, it may have been a little much. I used my recipe for Best Garlic Butter and used regular french bread, didn't have any baguette at the store. I did not sprinkle the bread with chili powder because my butter is okay as is. I will be making this again as an appetizer not as a side, its too rich for a side I think. Putting this in my 2005 Zaar Cookbook for sure. Thanks
