Servings: 4 Tablespoons

Calories: 104kcal

Ingredients

• 1/2 stick Unsalted Butter Softened
• 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/8 tsp White Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
• 1 tsp Thyme Fresh
• 1 tsp Rosemary Fresh
• 5 cloves Roasted Garlic

Instructions

• Crush roasted garlic in small mixing bowl.
• Finely chop thyme and rosemary, add to the small mixing bowl.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
• Store in an airtight container (I like using small mason jars). Can be stored for 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.

Notes

If freezing the butter, it can be rolled on wax or parchment paper into a log, then tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for easy cutting later on. You can also prepare in small balls with a melon baller for easy individual portions.

You can use dried herbs in this recipe if you like or don’t have fresh available. I would recommend letting the butter sit in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before serving if using dried herbs to allow for full flavor. To convert fresh herbs to dry herbs, just divide the amount by three. For this recipe, use 1/3 tsp of thyme and rosemary.

This recipe is amazing on almost anything so it’s worth making it in bulk if you have the freezer space. We recommend trying it on any grilled items, especially with our grilled potato, asparagus, or corn recipes. It’s also amazing on steaks, pork chops, and fish to add a little extra finishing flair. For a great crowd favorite, you can slice french bread, brush on a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, grill lightly on each side, and top with this amazing butter.
