Garlic Butter
Description
This basic Garlic Butter recipe involves thoroughly mixing softened unsalted butter with finely grated garlic cloves, fresh finely chopped parsley or chives, and a pinch of sea salt. The freshness of the garlic and herbs combine with the creamy texture of the butter to produce a savory spread with a slightly pungent, fresh herbal note.
It is ideal when spread on toasted baguette slices or incorporated into garlic bread preparations, where the butter melts into the bread creating a flavorful crust. The balance of garlic, herbs, and salt enhances many dishes that benefit from rich, savory notes.
To accommodate dietary preferences, this recipe can be veganized by substituting with vegan butter and omitting or adjusting the salt to taste. The butter should be at room temperature for easier mixing and uniform texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped fresh, or chives
- 2 garlic grated, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions

Notes
- Make this vegan by using plant-based butter and skipping the salt if desired.
- Use fresh garlic for the strongest flavor.
- Room temperature butter mixes more evenly with garlic and herbs.
