Garlic-Basil Butter

October 14, 2014 by Becky

Garlic-Basil Butter 4Flavored butters are a simple way to add a touch of sophistication to your meal, especially this garlic-basil butter.  Impress your guests or add it to a weeknight meal.  It’s fancy enough for company, but easy enough for every day!  It takes only minutes to prepare, but it makes even a simple meal seem a little more fancy with delicious flavor!

If you want to take it up a notch, you can have an assortment of herbed butters by adding our chive butter to your spread.  (Spread.  Ha!  Sadly, that pun was intended.)

We love simple recipes, and this one fits the bill.  Garden-fresh herbs and veggies don’t always need a lot of dressing up.  This butter really lets the flavor of the garlic and basil shine through without overpowering your dish.  Summertime perfection!

Give this garlic-basil butter a try the next time you have fresh herbs, you will not be disappointed in the lovely flavor, and you will love how easy it is to whip up!

Butter freezes very well.  Place the butter on a piece of waxed or parchment paper.  Roll it into a cylindrical shape, then twist the ends of the paper to seal.  You can place it in a freezer bag for an extra layer of protection, if desired.  When you need some basil butter, unwrap the log and slice off a disc to use for toast or veggies, or in your recipe.  This is a great option if you are trying to use as much basil as you can at the end of your harvest, and it’s just as easy to make a big batch as it is a single batch.

Enjoy!
