How to Make Anytime Garlic Butter

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-60 seconds, or until melted.
  2. Mince 4-6 cloves of garlic using a garlic press or food processor until finely minced or pulped. (Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference)
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried basil) to the melted butter.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and basil until well combined.
  5. Whisk in 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
  6. Brush or spoon generously onto your favorite bread (baguette, sourdough, etc.). For perfectly toasted garlic bread, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Enjoy your incredibly flavorful and aromatic garlic butter! Serve immediately and savor the deliciousness.
