Avocado Grilling Butter

You can melt a slice of this butter over meat, poultry or fish while grilling or just as the meat comes off the grill. Or for something unique, spread some on French bread, sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese and pop it under the broiler for a twist on garlic toast! Cooking time is refrigeration time.
