- Finely grate the parmesan cheese if not already grated.

- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Make sure it's soft enough to mix easily with the other ingredients.

- 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.
- Once mixed, transfer the garlic butter to an airtight container.

- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- 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.
