- melt 1 cup butter or butter alternative in a separate bowl (a microwave is easiest)
- add 1 teaspoon dried Rosemary and 1 teaspoon thyme to butter and allow butter to cool slightly, but remain liquid
- whisk 2 eggs into melted butter mixture to fully mix
- pour egg/butter mixture over bread cube mixture and stir to fully combine
