  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the softened salted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a medium-sized mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are ready to be mixed.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Using a handheld mixer, beat all ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy, incorporating the garlic and parsley evenly throughout the butter.
  3. Serve: Use the prepared garlic butter immediately by spreading it on bread, melting it over steak, or topping your favorite cooked vegetables for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic to 1.5 tablespoons.
  • Can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Bring to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
  • Optionally, substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to control saltiness.
