Herbed Butter:

½ c. (125 mL) butter, softened (no substitutes)

2 tbsp. (30 mL) finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

2 tsp. (10 mL) poppy seeds

2 tsp. (10 mL) sesame seeds

¾ tsp. (3.75 mL) dill seeds

¾ tsp. (3.75 mL) caraway seeds

Bread slices, as required

Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Combine all, mixing well. Spread over sliced bread (any kind except rye), heating 8 min. (with oven rack in middle position) until butter melts and bread is heated through. Alternately, spread on lightly done toast, broiling quickly (with oven rack in middle position) until golden. Serve hot. 

Tip: Spread Herbed Butter over hot toast fingers for a very easy appy!
