  • Crush garlic into a paste with a mortar and pestle.
  • Mix crushed garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, thyme, and onion powder together until relatively homogenous. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place bread cubes in a large bowl and spoon butter mixture on top. Toss well to make sure all cubes are coated. Cover and let sit until bread soaks up the mixture, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread bread on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, flipping once halfway, until golden brown and firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes.
