Instructions

• If the ½ cup unsalted butter is not already soft, let it sit at room temperature until softened and easily spreadable.
• Finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives. Peel and grate 2 garlic cloves.
• In a small bowl, add the softened butter, chopped herbs, grated garlic, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
• Stir with a fork or small spatula until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Serve immediately—spread on toasted baguette slices or on bread and bake until the butter has melted and the bread is golden. If not using right away, refrigerate the garlic butter until firm.
