Cindi's Herbed Garlic Butter
"I've been playing around with this recipe for a while. I have several types of Garlic Bread Toppers that I like to use, but this is a nice change. Works great on any kind of crusty or chewy Italian or French Bread. The most rustic bread you can find is what makes this a great topping!"

I'm giving this 10 stars!!! Absolutely loved the parsley and thyme in this. I don't think I'll ever make regular garlic butter again. I used this for garlic bread, but I can see many uses for it such as on top of vegetables, over grill meat/poltry, seafood. Awesome! Thanks for sharing CindiJ.
