Homemade Garlic Butter
I made this garlic herb butter for the hasselback garlic cheesy bread recipe. While you can get garlic herb butter from the store, it’s so much easier to make it at home.
The recipe practically takes 10 minutes and you have your homemade garlic herb butter.
As I mentioned, I made it for the garlic cheesy bread, but ended up using it for many more dishes, such as garlic noodles, brushing it on grilled shrimp, or just plain on my morning toast.
It adds a great garlicky and herb flavor and make everything so much better and palatable.
Garlic Butter…endless Possibilities!
The best thing is that garlic butter will keep forever in the fridge, just like your regular butter.
Check out the recipe on how to make this garlic butter, it’s super easy.
Now that I have made it from scratch, I can’t wait to try out different variations of flavored butter…
I get excited thinking of the endless possibilities!

I tried this recipe and it’s great! The only problem is that I think 0.5 teaspoon of salt might be too much and I think I’ll quarter that amount (plus add more garlic) the next time I try this recipe.
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. :)
