Warm Bread with Garlic-Herb Butter Recipe

  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 loaf crusty bread
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a mortar and pestle, crush together garlic and salt to form a paste. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add parsley, chives, lemon juice, and butter; stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  2. Place bread on a baking sheet. Warm bread in oven until crust is crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve with the butter. Butter can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
