Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or crusty loaf bread
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Slice the baguette or crusty loaf bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the thyme sprigs and allow them to steep for 3-4 minutes to infuse the butter with its flavor.
4. Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and discard the thyme sprigs.
5. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper into the butter mixture to enhance the flavor.
6. Using a basting brush, generously brush the thyme-infused butter onto both sides of each bread slice.
7. Place the bread slices onto the preheated grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly charred, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Remove the grilled bread from the grill and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
9. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or accompaniment to soups and salads.
