  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 teaspoon dried chervil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 medium clove garlic, finely grated and divided
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, divided

Oils and Breads

  • 6 tablespoons quality extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
  • 12 ounces warm crusty bread

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Herbs and Spices: In a bowl, measure and mix the dried chervil, oregano, marjoram, basil, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well blended.
  2. Divide Ingredients: Separate the grated garlic, minced fresh rosemary, and the herb-spice mixture evenly between two small, shallow plates or bowls to prepare for the oil mixture.
  3. Add Olive Oil and Mix: Pour 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into each plate. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the oil. Add more olive oil if needed to reach the desired consistency.
  4. Serve with Bread: Arrange warm, sliced or hand-torn crusty bread alongside the herb-infused olive oil plates. Use the bread to dip and enjoy the flavorful mixture immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Warm the bread slightly before serving to enhance the dipping experience.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted seasonally if rosemary is unavailable.
  • This dip can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring back to room temperature before serving.
