Let butter sit. Place the unsalted butter on your counter until it comes to room temperature.

Form a log. Place the butter on some cling wrap and squeeze it into a log.
Chill. Roll the garlic butter up in the wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Serve. To serve, spread it on bread for garlic bread, use it as a flavorful base for sautéed vegetables and/or pasta, or melt it over grilled meats for added richness and flavor.
We love adding the compound butter to Grilled Filet Mignon.

Notes

STORE garlic butter in your refrigerator for 7-10 days.

FREEZE compound herb butter to extend its shelf life for several months. When you're ready to use it, simply take out the desired portion and let it thaw in the refrigerator. This process helps preserve the flavors of the herbs and spices in the butter.
