  Garlic Croutons with Thyme 
   
  Rub a small heavy skillet with the cut side of the garlic and in it cook 
  the garlic in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, 
  or until it is golden. Discard the garlic, add the bread cubes and the 
  thyme, and cook the croutons, tossing them, until they are toasted lightly. 
  Sprinkle the croutons with salt to taste and transfer them to paper towels 
  to drain. 
   
  Makes about a cup.
