- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Serve hot and pull apart pieces to enjoy.
Notes
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
