30 Second Garlic Butter
A quick, versatile garlic butter that turns any loaf, roll, or slice into instant garlic bread. For a richer finish, stir in freshly grated Parmesan and briefly warm to melt the cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 TBS soft butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/4 tsp seasoned pepper
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
-
Place the softened butter in a small bowl. Add the garlic powder, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
-
Spread the garlic butter over warm bread, rolls, or baguette slices. Use as much or as little as you like depending on preference.
-
Optional: sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the buttered bread and warm briefly in the oven or toaster oven until the cheese melts and the edges are lightly golden.
-
Store any leftover garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before spreading to restore a soft consistency.
