Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
2 tbsp mayonnaise
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature until it's easy to mix.
- Finely grate the parmesan cheese if not already grated.
- Measure out the mayonnaise.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
2. Mixing:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Make sure it's soft enough to mix easily with the other ingredients.
- Add the grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
3. Combine:
- Using a spatula or a mixing spoon, thoroughly combine all the ingredients together. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, and the parsley and garlic are evenly distributed throughout.
4. Storage:
- Once mixed, transfer the garlic butter to an airtight container.
- You can also form it into a log using parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy slicing. Simply place the butter mixture on the paper, shape it into a log, and wrap tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serving Suggestions:
- Use this delicious garlic butter to enhance the flavor of bread, steak, vegetables, or any other dish that could use a burst of garlicky goodness.
- For garlic bread, spread the butter generously on sliced bread and toast in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

- Use high-quality butter.: Opt for unsalted, grass-fed butter to achieve the richest flavor and best texture.

- Soften butter before mixing.: Allow the butter to reach room temperature before you begin, as this will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients.

- Finely grate garlic.: Using a fine grater or microplane will ensure that the garlic integrates smoothly without leaving any large pieces.

- Mix thoroughly.: Make sure all ingredients are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor throughout.

- Chill before use.: After mixing, let the garlic butter chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Store properly.: Keep your garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze it for longer storage.

And there you have it - your Best-ever Garlic Butter is ready to add a touch of indulgence to any meal. Whether you're preparing a simple weeknight dinner or hosting a special gathering, this versatile and flavorful butter will not disappoint. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and savory flavors, and don't hesitate to get creative with how you use this delectable treat.
