• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to Make Herb-Infused Toast with Butter

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re toasting the bread in the oven. Alternatively, you can use a toaster or stovetop skillet.
2. In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and a dash of freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. If using the oven, place the sourdough slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4. If using a skillet, heat over medium heat and toast the sourdough on both sides for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
5. Once toasted, remove the bread from heat and generously spread the herb-infused butter on one side of each slice while still hot, allowing it to melt into the bread.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
