Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 8 ounces of bread (half of a 1 pound loaf or 2 smaller loaves totalling 8 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup butter (4 tablespoons), softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 3 large or 4-5 small cloves garlic, minced

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400.
  • Mix together the softened butter, fresh herbs, red pepper if using, and garlic in a small bowl.  
  • Spread the butter mixture evenly over the cut side of the bread.
  • Place bread buttered side up on a non-stick cookie sheet, or line a cookie sheet with foil and spray the foil with non-stick spray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove, and flip the bread over so that the buttered side is making direct contact with the baking sheet. Place back in the oven for 7-10 minutes, checking after 7 to make sure the butter isn't burning.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice.
