How to Make Garlic Croutons With Thyme

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Remove the garlic cloves from the skillet (you can discard them or save for another use). Add 2 cups of cubed day-old bread (about 1/2 inch cubes) and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves to the skillet.
  3. Cook the croutons, tossing frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the croutons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful goodness on your favorite salad or soup!
