Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
Using a spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the garlic butter has a smooth, consistent texture.
Transfer the garlic butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and roll it tightly, twisting the ends to secure. Alternatively, you can portion the garlic butter into small, freezer-safe containers or an ice cube tray for individual servings.
Label the package or containers with the date and contents, then place them into the freezer for long-term storage.
To use, spread the frozen garlic butter onto slices of fresh or partially baked bread. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy.
