The preparation

4 steps, about 10 minutes start to finish.

01
Mix all ingredients into the softened butter. Taste and adjust.
02
Spread generously on halved or sliced bread.
03
Broil 3-5 minutes until edges are golden and butter is bubbling and caramelized.
04
Watch the broiler the entire time. Pull the moment edges start to darken. **Note:** The honey caramelizes under the broiler and adds a subtle sweetness that balances the garlic. Do not skip it.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Do not walk away from the broiler. This goes from golden and caramelized to burnt in well under a minute, so stand there and pull it the second the edges start to darken.”
