How to Make Cindi's Herbed Garlic Butter
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme.
- Mash the garlic slightly with a fork to release its flavor.
- Use a wooden spoon or spatula to thoroughly blend all ingredients until a smooth paste forms.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Slice your favorite crusty Italian or French bread lengthwise or into thick slices.
- Spread the herbed garlic butter generously over the bread.
- For softer, chewier bread: assemble the slices back into a loaf shape after buttering and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
- For crispier bread: lightly drizzle the prepared bread slices with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and heated through. If using foil, baking time may be slightly shorter.
- Store leftover herbed garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
