The secret to really good garlic bread is to keep it simple. And to use a lot of garlic—4 cloves for one loaf! This recipe is the perfect side for our Spaghetti Bolognese﻿...or really any Italian pasta dinner﻿.

This buttery, garlickly bread is a classic for a reason. Serve it alongside a pasta dinner.

Parmesan Garlic Bread Will Disappear In Seconds

Best-Ever Garlic Bread

garlic,

c. (1 stick) butter, softened

kosher salt

c. grated Parmesan

Make sure not to use 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. It’s way to salty. Just use 1/4 teaspoon

Absolutely Awesome!
I saw the recipe and had to make it.  I softened the butter in the microwave and mixed everything up in the same pyrex measuring cup.  I substituted dehydrated parsley, and let it rest in the butter for awhile before I spread it.  The garlic smelled very strong while cooking.  My wife is not a huge parmesan fan so I used about a tablespoon of grated.  It all came together beautifully.  There is no substitute for fresh garlic instead of powders and salts.  We only ate half of it for dinner.  We are going to put shredded mozzarella on the other half and put it under the broiler for a late night date night snack.  Enjoy!

AMAZING!  I will only make it this way from now on! No parsley so I added sprinkles of oregano. Used squeezable minced garlic too.

Everyone loved this garlic bread. I would either reduce the kosher salt or eliminate it entirely. The parmesan cheese added enough salty flavor to the mix for our taste.

5 stars. I’m speechless, this is delicious.

Amazing!  I made it and my family loved it!!!  Nice and crispy and very tasty.  I replaced the salt with Adobo Seasoning and I also added onion powder and the dry chopped onion flakes.  Add a good amount of parmasan cheese!  I basically did the seasonings without the measurements, I just like to go my own way until I know it's a good amount for flavor.  Seasonings is key! :)

My family really enjoys this garlic bread!

My sister made this exact recipe and it was sooooooooo good! I totally recommend it.

I was looking for a side to chilled cucumber soup, and I think I've found it!!! Going to serve with the soup and I'm putting avacado on the bread. Haven't tryed it yet but I'm excited!!!

I made this recipe for the first time for my husband and 5 year old son. We absolutely LOVED it and couldn't get enough. This recipe is DEFINITELY a keeper. Thanks for sharing this recipe:)

Great recipe I did use dried Parsley and roasted garlic. Will make again.

This was absolutely delish (get it) and it was gone within minutes. I reduced the salt to 1/4 of a cup and it was delicious. (I would also put extra parm on for extra flavor)

I've made this several times now and it is way better than anything I pay more for in the frozen department at the grocery store.  I'm saving money, avoiding artificial ingredients and enjoying the flavors and textures of fresh made garlic bread. My entire family is happy!

I made this tonight and it turned out awesome! Even my picky kids ate it! Definitely will be making this again. :)

How to make Compound Butter + my favorite Compound Butter recipes to bring as a sweet and easy hostess gift during the holidays.

How To Make Compound Butter + My Favorite Compound Butter Recipes

tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter

tbsp fresh dill, chopped

horseradish paste

tsp sea salt

tsp black pepper

cranberries,

tsp orange zest

cinnamon

tbsp fresh chived, chopped

lemon

coconut sugar

tsp whisky (Bourbon

tbsp honey

lavender

orange

orange juice

Allow butter to come to room temperature. It should be soft enough that you can easily put a deep dent in it when you push down on it with your fingertip, but not melted.

In a prep bowl or mixing bowl, whip butter with a fork (or for larger batches a whisk) until smooth and fluffy.

Add preferred mix-ins and combine until well-dispersed.

Using a spatula, transfer seasoned butter to a square of parchment paper. Shape and roll into a log with a spatula then fold the parchment paper over the top of the log and roll into a tube. Fold the ends of the parchment paper over to close then secure with kitchen twine, a rubber band, or tape. Alternatively, you may spoon the butter mixture into silicone molds for individual shapes.

Refrigerate until firm. Depending on the size of your butter log or shape, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

These instructions work for one stick of Compound Butter or larger batches

This looks quite simple to make and delicious!!! And I bet it makes your table look very fancy without much effort! Love it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Girl, I'm melting! lol. Seriously they all look insanely good the honey lavendar and the cranberry poblano are where I'm going to start  . .but you have me so intrigued with whisky, lol

OMG, I love these. I don't know where to start but I want that honey orange all over some biscuits or waffles or something.

Those butters look so awesome! I've only ever made garlic/herb butter. I love all these variations.

Thanks for this post! I love compound butter and the variations and info you give are just perfect. So many choices!

This is such a neat idea! I have never thought of mixing butter with anything, but it would be so good on baked potatoes!

I have never even thought about making this at home! Pinned to make later. Thanks for the recipes!! :)

Seriously, I have never made a compound butter, but why? You make it look so easy and I love all of the different flavor combos! Need to do this ASAP!

It is so amazing to know this recipe. My husband and my dad loves butter so much and  I am so excited to make a different flavors of compound butter for them.

I can't wait to make each one of these! I think that my favorite butter will be the whiskey one. That will be the first one that I try.

Love these compound butter recipes! Such a perfect DIY gift- just saved to my pinterest board for next time I want to get crafty in the kitchen with a gift!

It's been so long since I've made compound butter, and that it's crazy because I love using it on a regular basis when I DO have it.

Definitely a beautiful gift to give to someone - I really love the idea and the combinations are absolutely mouth-watering. Will be making these pretty immediately. Fab idea! Thanks so much.

So many great flavors here! I'm trying the honey orange butter first. It's going to be so good on my next batch of muffins. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness, these compound butter recipes sound amazing. I can't wait to try them at our next party.

This Roasted Garlic, Goat Cheese, and Chives Compound Butter is loaded with flavor and guaranteed to take your next steak dinner over the top!

Roasted Garlic Goat Cheese and Chives Compound Butter

garlic

unsalted butter ((softened))

goat cheese

chives

black pepper

In a small bowl, mash roasted garlic with a fork until somewhat smooth.

Add the butter, stir to combine.

Stir in the goat cheese, chives, and black pepper.

Chill butter for 30 minutes, then roll into a 1-inch thick log in plastic wrap.

Place back in the refrigerator to chill completely, or place in the freezer until ready to use.

Slice into rounds and serve.

The best filet mignon you'll ever eat: tender, moist, and oh so juicy. Topped with a super flavorful garlic herb compound butter, this recipe produces an epic meal.

Best Ever Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Compound Butter (Reverse Sear)

mignon

unsalted butter (softened)

parsley (roughly chopped)

garlic (roughly chopped)

shallot (roughly chopped)

lemon juice

black pepper (to taste)

Liberally season steaks on both sides with plenty of salt, as well as fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple hours. If letting stand for more than one hour, keep in refrigerator, then let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.

Meanwhile, make garlic herb compound butter: place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log shape. Chill until firm.

Preheat the oven to 250º F. Place the pan with steaks in the oven and insert an internal meat thermometer with probe. For medium rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 120º Fahrenheit, about 25-30 minutes. Larger or thicker steaks will take longer; I highly recommend using an internal meat thermometer with probe here. To cook filet mignon steaks to a different warmth, like medium or medium well, see note.

Remove from oven when internal temperature reaches 120º F. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes while steaks rest. Pat steaks dry.

Carefully place steaks in hot skillet and cook 45 seconds; flip and place a pat of garlic herb compound butter, about 1 tablespoon per steak, on top of the filet. Cook another 45 seconds, then flip a couple times until steaks are a richer brown color, about 20-40 seconds total. Press the sides of the filet up against the sides of the cast iron skillet briefly until no longer red or pink. Remove from skillet and serve with more garlic herb compound butter.

Easy to make and amazing taste. It was a major hit with the steaks. No one wanted to use a steak sauce, that is a first. Thank you!

Our company loved the steak butter, on their beef tenderloin! 
Easy to make and serve!

I’m a beginner cook and I recently made this steak butter for my family! I’m unsure if I am suppose to cook the steak with this butter? Or do I just cook it like normal and only put the butter on top afterwards. We have yet to use it but all my family says it smells and looks amazing &lt;3

Weeknight slow baked salmon cooks slowly at a low temperature leaving the fish incredibly moist and tender throughout. As the herb shallot compound butter melts, it seeps into the salmon, flavoring the fish with shallots, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. A simple, yet elegant salmon recipe any night of the week! GF

Slow Baked Salmon with Herb Shallot Butter

olive oil

salmon

½ cup 1 stick butter, (softened)

shallot (minced)

Tbsp chives (chopped)

Tbsp dill (chopped)

tsp kosher salt

capers

Preheat oven to 275 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then drizzle with olive oil. Pat salmon or arctic char dry with a paper towel, then place on baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine butter, shallot, chives, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then spread evenly on top of the fish. Bake until barely cooked through, about 20-25 minutes (time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish -- pull salmon out when it registers 120 F in the center). Top with capers and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
