Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from browning.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted, reduce the heat to low, and stir in the finely minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the finely grated Parmesan cheese. The residual heat will help the cheese melt smoothly into the butter mixture.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of freshness and color.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the cheesy lemon butter to a serving dish, or pour it over your desired dish (such as seafood, vegetables, or bread). Serve immediately while warm.
