A delightful and easy-to-make garlic confit served with toasted baguette slices.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
A lower temperature ensures the garlic cooks gently without browning.
Place the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs in a baking dish, then pour in the olive oil to cover the garlic.
Ensure the garlic is fully submerged in the oil for even cooking.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the garlic is soft and tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the oil is not bubbling too vigorously.
Slice the baguette into thin slices and toast them lightly in a toaster or oven.
Toasting enhances the bread's texture and flavor.
Spread butter on the toasted baguette slices and serve alongside the garlic confit.
Serve warm for the best experience.
