Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add softened butter, parsley, garlic, salt and black pepper. Stir everything well.
  • Serve on crackers, toasted baguette or bake onto garlic bread. More ideas how to serve it on the post above. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Salted butter will work in a pinch. Leave out the added sea salt and mix some in at the end if necessary (after taste testing).
  • Table salt will work, but it's not as forgiving as a larger grain salt so add it slowly.
  • Feel free to experiment with other spices and herbs! 
  • Looking to save time? Sub jarred/minced garlic or garlic paste in this recipe.
  • To store: place in an airtight container or use plastic wrap/wax paper to form butter into a log. Refrigerate for 1-2 weeks or freeze for up to 4-6 months.
