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)
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
2. Slice the baguette or crusty loaf bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
5. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper into the butter mixture to enhance the flavor.
Step 6
6. Using a basting brush, generously brush the thyme-infused butter onto both sides of each bread slice.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Remove the grilled bread from the grill and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Step 9
9. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or accompaniment to soups and salads.
