I think I have finally made something that I can spread on nearly everything. You know those things that you make & then you wonder how on earth you ever lived before you made it?! Yea- this Italian Garlic Butter is one of those things.
You know why? Because I usually use all these ingredients together for so many things- only I have always done it in steps. Well- now that I combined it into an all-in-one spread I have cut my time & made life in the kitchen so simple.
Herbed Garlic Butter

Just spread on your french loaf & then place in the broiler for a couple minutes.

You can melt it in some super cute ramekins & use it as a dip for your lobster.
Good for just spreading on a dinner roll. I like to make this in bulk, place in my favorite jars & store in the freezer so that I always have some on hand.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I make this recipe if I don’t have a stand mixer?
Yes, you can use a handheld mixer if your butter is soft. If you want to use a rubber spatula or whisk & mix by hand, just make sure your butter is REALLY soft, but not melted before getting started.
Can I use chilled butter to make this recipe?
I would advise against this, even if you are using an upright mixer. I made this once when my butter wasn’t as soft as it could have been. My wire whip ended up getting pretty twisted. So please use room temperature, softened butter.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Italian Garlic Butter?
- Add your butter to you mixer bowl & beat on high for several minutes using the paddle attachment.
- After the butter is creamy- add in your other ingredients & continue beating another several minutes.
- Transfer to an airtight container & store refrigerated as you would your regular butter.
