Making your own herb butter is super easy and gives you so much flavor! It goes with everything: spread on a baguette at a party, with a delicious steak, or as a flavoring for grilled vegetables.
This herb butter is a winner thanks to the Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, and garlic. The great thing is that you can make it in a few minutes with things you often already have at home.
Italian Garlic Parmesan Butter in Minutes
I prefer to make my own herb butter and garlic butter. Real butter, fresh herbs, and a little love-you can taste it! My garlic butter recipe has been a favorite here for years, but it now has a competitor: herb butter with Parmesan cheese.
This version is creamy, full of flavor because of the Parmesan cheese, and has a hint of garlic. It's perfect for a party or just with a piece of meat or grilled vegetables. And the best part is that you can make it in less than 10 minutes-handy for when you have little time!
What do you require?
- Parmesan cheese has a deep, salty flavor. Grate the cheese fresh for the best results. Do you lack Parmesan at home? Grana Padano works just fine.
- Italian herbs: A mixture of rosemary, oregano, and thyme. Don't have ready-made Italian herbs? Mix these three herbs yourself.
