Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Ensure the unsalted butter is softened to room temperature so it yields to gentle pressure without being melted.
  2. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to a small mixing bowl.
  3. Use a fork to mash the garlic into the butter, ensuring the aromatics are suspended evenly throughout the fat.
  4. Whip the mixture vigorously for 30-60 seconds to incorporate air, making the spread light and fluffy.
