The Best Garlic Herb and BUTTER Bread

Look, if you came here for low fat recipes, you probably know by now you are in the wrong place. I will offer some healthy recipes if they are super good like My Dad's Healthy Salad Dressing. But I have a skinny doctor husband who surprisingly needs a meat, side dish and veggie every night. The only exception is Japanese food. He LOVES all things Japanese, from sushi (including the raw stuff), udon, gyoza, katsu, teriyaki, sunomono, sukiyaki etc. But - I digress. This is about this BREAD. It is amazing. The only way you can make it is to not change this recipe. I know it's loaded with butter. You should not eat this everyday. But it is really really really good and should be experienced once in a very great while when you are really craving garlic, butter, salt and yummy bread. You won't be sorry. So lets get rollin...

1 loaf of French Bread sliced horizontally so you have two long halves of the bread.

2 sticks of salted butter (don't abandon me at this point!)

Fresh garlic, crushed and Grey or Sea Salt to taste OR garlic salt

Fresh thyme leaves chopped up fine

Soften the butter but don't melt it. Spread one stick on one half of the bread and the other stick on the other half. This will seem like a lot of butter. But butter is in the title of this recipe. It is in fact in all CAPS. So just spread it on, don't miss a spot of bread, go all the way to the edges, get a tattoo and decide to just go for it. Spread crushed garlic on top of bread to your taste. I usually use 2 cloves per side, but I like garlic. Sprinkle with grey or sea salt to taste. I just give a light sprinkle over the top. These pieces will be cut small so you need to make sure each piece has a little bit of salt. You don't want under salted bread. Trust me. Okay, now bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes until the butter is melted and has soaked into the bread. Turn on your broiler and while watching the whole time, broil top of bread until it is golden and toasted. Remember, golden brown butter means flavor so don't under broil the bread but don't burn it. This is tricky but just watch it the whole time. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with thyme. Cut into max 2 inch slices.

You know you are drooling. Just go make it and get it over with already.
