Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature until softened. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Using a fork or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference, if needed.
Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.
Place the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up, or in the freezer for quicker results (about 20 minutes).
Once firm, slice into discs or use as desired. This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
