Sourdough Croutons:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 loaf sourdough, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the bread cubes and thyme, toss to coat, and then transfer to a baking sheet, spreading in an even layer. Bake until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Cool before using.
