Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
½ cup finely minced fresh chives
1 pinch kosher salt (if you use salted butter, omit salt)
1 loaf rustic bread, split in half horizontally (such as ciabatta, Italian, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. For easy clean-up, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
In a small saucepan (or the microwave), melt the butter. Mix in the chives and salt until combined.
½ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup finely minced fresh chives, 1 pinch kosher salt
Place both bread halves on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Evenly spoon half of the melted butter mixture onto each half. Put the cut sides together (to form a loaf), and bake for 10 minutes, until the bread is hot and crispy and the inside is soft and buttery.
1 loaf rustic bread, split in half horizontally
Slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Yield: Servings will depend on the size of the bread loaf, and how thick you cut the slices. If you buy a larger loaf, you'll have more servings.
Storage: Leftover chive bread should be cooled to room temperature, wrapped in foil, or stored in an airtight container, and refrigerated. To reheat, wrap the bread in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes until warm and crisp. You can also heat it briefly in your air fryer, unwrapped, to re-crisp it.
