Note
Storage: This mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Substitutions: Use olive oil instead of butter for a vegan version. Fresh herbs can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, though fresh yields a brighter flavor.
Tips: Ensure the garlic does not brown too quickly, as it can turn bitter. Keep the heat at medium-low if your skillet runs hot. This mixture works well as a stuffing for vegetables or a spread for crostini.
