Ingredient Notes

Here’s what you’ll need to make the very best garlic butter spread! For the exact measurements, scroll to the very bottom of this post.

• Butter – Try to use a good quality butter if possible. It’s essentially the main ingredient here, so even though it’ll be dressed up with other ingredients, it’s important that it also tastes good and has a thick consistency.
• Garlic – You’ll need quite a few roasted garlic cloves for this recipe. Check out my instructions for how to perfectly roast garlic HERE!
• Parmesan Cheese – I highly recommend grating your parmesan cheese right off the block for the best flavor and consistency. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in a powder to help prevent the cheese from clumping in the bag. This also effects the flavor and how well it mixes with the other ingredients in this butter.
• Italian Seasoning – Get the very BEST flavor when you use my recipe for homemade Italian seasoning!

How to Serve Garlic Bread Spread

• Spread it on a grilled cheese, especially if that grilled cheese is made with mozzarella! You can spread it on the outside of the bread and on the inside because you can never have enough.
• Step up your buttered noodle game with this spread! Swap out your regular butter with garlic bread spread and enjoy every garlicky bite of pasta.
