Ingredient notes
- Butter - I recommend using unsalted since when you add it other recipes you will likely have already salted the other dish.
- Parsley - fresh herbs are best but you can use dried as well.
How to make this
Combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a bowl. Stir until everything is combined really well.
You can roll this into log wrap with plastic wrap and then chill for slicing. Or you can use it right away.
Expert tips
Make sure you soften the butter on the counter for one hour prior to making this garlic butter recipe. If you try to soften it in the microwave it end up melting some of the butter which we don't want.
FAQs
Add it fresh bread or toss it with pasta for an easy lunch.
Make a batch of garlic butter, and then melt in the microwave. Skim the fat from the butter off the top and serve.
