Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature so it's softened and easy to mix.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the finely chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the garlic Parmesan butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Form the butter into a log shape by rolling the paper tightly around it. Twist the ends to secure.
Place the butter log into a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
To use, slice off a portion of the frozen butter and spread it on a French loaf. Toast the bread in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
