This Roasted Garlic Butter recipe combines beautifully caramelized Roasted Garlic with creamy butter and fresh herbs for a delectable flavor enhancer to serve with bread, fish, meat, and vegetables. Also known as compound butter, this flavored butter requires only a few ingredients, comes together easily, and can be shaped into a log for easy slicing and an extra-special presentation for your dinner table.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the top off the garlic bulb, exposing the cloves. Place the garlic bulb on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown and soft. Remove from oven and let cool.
When the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves out of the paper skin into a small bowl. Mash the garlic cloves with a fork until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, roasted garlic, salt, herbs, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Place the butter on a piece of plastic wrap. Shape the butter into a log and wrap tightly. Chill in the refrigerator for 3 Hours.
When ready to serve, remove the butter from the refrigerator and slice. Serve with bread, fish, meat, or vegetables.
