2. Slice baguette in half, horizontally. Transfer baguette halves to a sheet pan, cut side up, and set aside.

4. Spread half of the butter mixture over the cut side of each of the baguette halves.

7. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon of zest evenly over both pieces of baguette. Slice baguette into 2-inch sections before serving.
