Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
• 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature until softened. This will take about 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Using a fork or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference, if needed.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.

Step 6

Place the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up, or in the freezer for quicker results (about 20 minutes).

Step 7

Once firm, slice into discs or use as desired. This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
