Add remaining olive oil (1/2 tablespoon) to nonstick skillet and heat over medium low to medium heat depending on your stove temperatures. When the oil is warm, add the butter and allow to melt and bubble with the oil.

That's it!

    Thanks so much. I just tried something so easy, it seemed impossible. If you're into lower calorie and lower fat, try my garlic yogurt dip (I'm not sure that's the right title).
