Once it’s ready, you’ll just want to whip the butter until it’s nice and fluffy, then mix in your sun-dried tomatoes, basil and garlic, sprinkling the salt in bit by bit until you’ve got it just the way you like it. We don’t know about you, but we basically resign ourselves to eating straight butter while we make this – you don’t know if you’ve got the measurements just right unless you taste it along the way! One thing’s for sure though: this is a sure-fire hit that will have everyone talking about and requesting the recipe. You can’t go wrong with butter and this Italian compound butter is no exception!
This is great on garlic bread! I didn’t have garlic salt which was probably good after reading the reviews, so I used 1 tsp. of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Other than that I didn’t change a thing. I spread this over half a loaf of italian bread and baked it at 425 for 10-12 minutes. I’d love to try this over steak next time.
