Herbed Garlic Butter

Submitted by Teri8551

"I make this and keep it around. A herbed butter is delicious on bread by itself. But you've got to try it on steamed potatoes, fresh veggies, a steak or rubbed all over a chicken before roasting."

I put the spread on some french bread loaves and broiled the bread for 5 min. I also added some mozzarella on the bread. This was amazing. All the spices blended very well together.

I made a half recipe and used about a tablespoon on a large thin slice of baquette as part of my dinner tonight. I think though I would be putting in more herbs and garlic to make them more pronounced, I used dried herbs with the exception of the rosemary which was fresh and doubled the amount of it. I have frozen what is left for now and will add the extra herbs and garlic and see how it goes from there. I did toast the slice of baquette in the oven and did note that the herb taste was more there before cooking it on the slice. Thank you Teri, made for I Recommend (by ElaineAnn).

I made half the recipe, and used some on fresh steamed green beans. It was wonderful. I can't wait to try all your suggestions and find a few more of my own. Made for PAC Fall '07. Thanks for a winning recipe Teri!
