Garlic Butter

Submitted by Nyteglori

"Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1 1/2 times the amount called for."

Used this as a base for a white pizza, topped with cheese and arugula. Perfect garlic to butter ratio.

This is great! DH and I have become garlic nuts and are always looking for new recipes. This is a keeper. We used this on toasted bread, potatoes and veggies!! Yummy and super easy!

It's delicious. I used 5 garlic cloves. Next time, I'll add parsley just to give it a nice color. I didn't use black pepper. Thanks Nyteglori :)

I whipped up this zesty butter in no time and used it on a wonderful loaf of Asiago cheese bread. I slathered on half a recipe of the butter and then baked it in the oven. My family devoured it! This is the perfect ratio of butter and garlic. I can see this butter being used on many things and in various recipes. Thanks, Nyteglori!

This is delicious. I served it with some hot dinner rolls and put some on top of grilled steaks. Delish! Thanks for sharing!
