Garlic butter

Time from Prep to Eating: 10 minutes (not including roasting the garlic)


What You Need:
A bowl and a fork.

The Stuff:
1 stick of salted butter, room temperature
1 small head of roasted garlic, cooled, skins removed (instructions follow)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 pepper

Here’s What You Do:
For the roasted garlic I followed Ellie Krieger’s cookbook instructions and made this a couple days in advance when I found some extra garlic in my refrigerator. First, cut off the top 1/3 of the head of garlic and place in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and cover with tin foil. Place in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the tin foil and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes. Ellie’s awesome!

Once the stick of butter and the garlic is at room temperature combine all ingredients into a bowl and smash with a fork. Mix until well combined.

Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
