I’m always looking for ways to jazz up side dishes. This is one of the many reasons I love this garlic herb butter. It can be made ahead of time, frozen or refrigerated and then plopped on any kind of bread you want to make scrumptious. It’s SUPER easy to make too. Lets get started!
Start by chopping up some fresh parsley.
Beat up some softened butter real well–until it’s nice and fluffy!
Add in your garlic and parsley and mix it a tad more.
Plop your butter glob onto a piece of saran wrap or press and seal paper. 
Shape it to resemble a small log.
At this point you can either freeze it or refrigerator it for later use.
When you want to use it, slice it up and spread it out on your bread. 
Hello beautiful.
Since I like to use a big french loaf, I use thick slices. You can for sure slice it thinner or use less if you want don’t want as much butter.
Once it’s softened a bit, spread it all out. 
Put the bread in a cold oven and turn on the broiler. Give it about 5 minutes to melt and toast up. Since everyone’s broilers are a bit different, make sure to keep a close eye on it!
Slice and serve!

I like to use the butter on a large french loaf of bread. Slice it up and broil the bread for about 5 minutes until butter is melted in and starting to brown.
This recipe would go well with:
Slow Cooker Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Hi from Kingwood again..
Cannot wait to try the garlic butter recipe..
How long would it need to defrost?
Bless you and your families

After you slice it, it should thaw fairly quickly. Probably close to 10 minutes?
I love the idea of throwing this in the freezer for the future!! I’m thinking of ALL the different flavor combinations that could be done!
You bet. The possibilities are endless!
