Easy Garlic Butter Spread Recipe

And then I took it to another step and decided to FREEZE the bread so we can have garlic bread with any meal.  That’s right, you know the frozen garlic bread you can buy in the grocery store that’s pretty expensive?  You can now make it at home and save so much money!

Not only is this garlic butter spread delicious on bread, but we love it on steamed vegetables, mostly steamed broccoli.  I’ve even used it on top of bake potatoes.  It stores well in the refrigerator and is very easy to make.

I’ve made it for a few family dinners and everyone loved.  

In fact, I made it for Christmas gifts to give to friends and I always make sure I have a jar ready to give to my brother when he comes to visit. Make sure you check out the VIDEO below that shows exactly how easy and quick this recipe is!

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together until they are blended. 

The garlic butter is now ready to be used on bread, vegetables or baked potatoes. How about melting a little and tossing it with fresh popped popcorn for a snack when you’re watching movies? 

You can use the garlic butter right away or store it in mason jars or plastic containers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.  You can even give it as a gift.

How to Freeze Homemade Garlic Bread with Homemade Garlic Butter

Spread the butter on top of thick sliced bread, I like to use thick French bread.  Lay the slices of bread on a baking tray that’s been lined with parchment baking sheets.

Place the baking tray in the freezer until the bread slices are frozen. This should take about 30 minutes. 

Then once the slices of bread are frozen, place them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, label and back into the freezer.  

How to Bake Frozen Garlic Bread

When you want to use the bread for dinner, remove the desired number of slices and place on a baking tray. Let the bread sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Broil until the bread is lightly browned.

This really is an easy recipe that your family will love and you will save a lot of money by not purchasing the pre-made version from the grocery store.  You can even use this butter for vegetables!
