Garlic Herb Butter Recipe

We love it with basil but other fresh herbs are delicious too! I love how yummy the garlic is with the freshness of the herbs.

  • 1 stick butter
  • 8-10 fresh basil leaves (or swap for a handful of fresh herbs of your choice)
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 heaping TBS Parmesan (optional)

How to make Garlic Butter with Herbs

I love that this can be made a head of time and its so jam packed full of flavor. Of course I love it with corn but it’s also great served on top of steak for a great finish or any other kid of veggie.

I mean it would be fabulous on bread too!

  1. Let butter come to room temperature.
  2. Chop the herbs.
  3. Add herbs, garlic, pepper, and if you want cheese to the butter.
  4. Stir until well combined and chill.

I did not make mine with Parmesan but my sister has before and I’m not going to lie I sprinkled some parm on one of of my pieces of butter topped corn and it was so so good.

So good right?

I broke the corn in thirds and then boiled a bunch then brought along the butter for people to spread on the corn as they served themselves.
