1 large head garlic (about 16 cloves), cloves separated, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs thyme
In a small saucepan over low, heat the butter, oil, bay and thyme until butter is melted and temperature reaches 185°F.
Add the garlic and stir to coat and submerge.
Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is tender, translucent and jammy.
Pour into a bowl and let cool, about 20 minutes.
Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
