Homemade Garlic Butter Recipes – Easy & Herb Garlic Butter

AddIngredients:

Garlic butter is one of these homemade items that should be in everyone’s fridge.
I never purchase store bought packages, as they  are rather expensive (if you can find them), and it’s so easy and fast to prepare it at home.

Garlic butter is so versatile. Spread it on fresh baguette, your baked potatoes or use in cooking for your vegetables or sauteing.

Freshly made garlic butter is always a treat at any dinner party.
Place a variety of fresh artisan breads and serve the garlic butter in an elegant dish.
