  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter and olive oil. Using a whisk or fork, mix them together until well combined and creamy.
  3. Next, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
  4. Give your Garlic and Herb Spreadable Butter a taste. Adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference for flavor.
  5. Using a spatula, transfer your spreadable butter into a storage container. Smooth the top for a polished look.
  6. Cover your container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before spreading.

Notes

  • Using high-quality butter makes a significant difference in flavor.
  • Freshly ground black pepper enhances the taste more than pre-ground.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices based on your preference.
  • Letting the butter sit at room temperature before serving ensures easy spreading.
