Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan)/ 420°F / Gas Mark 8.
Cut the baguette or ciabatta into slices about 1-2cm thick, but don't cut right through to the bottom - leave the loaf in tact at the bottom.
In a bowl, mix together the dairy-free margarine, garlic, parsley, oregano and vegan cheese (if using).
Place the sliced loaf on a large sheet of foil, and spread the garlic margarine over both sides of each slice of bread. Wrap it tightly in the foil and place on a baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake uncovered for a further 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top. Serve immediately.

Notes
Cut the slices of bread fairly thinly - around 1-2cm thick is spot on for maximum buttery slices.Spread the garlic butter generously over both sides of each slice, right to the edges - dry patches of bread are always a disappointment!
