Herbal Butter

Herbal Butter 

It is so easy to prepare and it adds so much additional flavor to fresh bread!

This is how I make it :

Blend together:

1 Stick of softened butter

1 tsp fresh minced chives

1 tsp fresh minced parsley

1 tsp fresh minced basil

1 large clove garlic, minced

I spread the herbal butter into molds and freeze to set it:

This is one of my "go-to" additions to bring to a friend when I have little time to think of something clever.

I package it in a cute box or on a pretty plate and add a loaf of crusty bread.  

This is perfect for a basic spread on bread.  It adds so much flavor when broiling garlic bread,  just add a little parmesan cheese  - yum!   You can also add this butter to hot veggies - especially corn on the cob and asparagus.

I store leftovers in the freezer for later use - they defrost quite quickly!
