Ingredients
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped herbs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- 1Gather and Arrange Ingredients
Gather all the required ingredients for the garlic herb butter in separate small bowls, including softened butter cubes, salt, minced garlic, and chopped herbs.
Tip: Ensure the butter is properly softened to room temperature so it blends easily with the seasonings. - 2Mix Softened Butter
Place the softened butter into a metal mixing bowl and use a green silicone spatula to stir and cream it until completely smooth.
Tip: Stir continuously until the butter achieves a creamy texture before introducing the rest of the ingredients. - 3Incorporate Seasonings
Gradually add the salt, minced garlic, and chopped herbs into the bowl, stirring continuously until everything is fully incorporated into the butter.
Tip: Mix thoroughly to distribute the garlic and herbs evenly throughout the entire batch of butter. - 4Apply Butter to Buns
Use a red silicone brush to spread the prepared garlic herb butter mixture evenly across the entire cut surface of each burger bun.
Tip: Coat the surface evenly to maximize flavor distribution and achieve a uniform golden crust. - 5Pan-Sear Buns on Griddle
Place the buttered burger buns cut-side down onto a hot griddle or pan, searing them until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
Tip: Monitor the buns closely while searing, as butter toasts very quickly and can burn easily.
