Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup oyster crackers

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Tips
