Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced finely
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the softened butter in a medium bowl.
- Add the minced fresh garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
- Use a fork or a hand mixer on low speed to thoroughly combine all ingredients until the mixture is uniform and creamy. This is your compound butter recipe.
- Transfer the garlic butter onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Roll the butter into a log shape and twist the ends to seal it.
- Refrigerate the log for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing or using.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil.
- If you plan to store this for longer than one week, wrap the log tightly in foil and freeze it for up to three months.
- Use this spread immediately on warm bread for instant garlic butter bread.
