Basil Butter

This recipe came from a 2006 issue of Home Cooking magazine. I want to put it here for safekeeping to use when the basil is ready.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 2  tablespoons  minced fresh basil
• 1  tablespoon  grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. Use immediately or refrigerate. If you would like to make it into pretty pats of butter you can place the butter mixture in the middle of a large piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a log and refrigerate. Slice the cold butter into desired thickness.
