This rich, flavorful garlic herb butter is perfect for slathering on steaks, bread, vegetables, or bagels. With a blend of fresh garlic, parsley, thyme, and basil, it adds a savory, aromatic touch to any dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, chopped basil, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Form into a log: Place the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll it tightly to form a log shape.
