Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 1 tablespoon basil
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Instructions
- Let the butter come to room temperature. It should be soft, but not melted. Mix on high for 3-4 minutes until it is light and creamy.
- Finely chop the basil, thyme, and rosemary.
- Add the chopped herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice to the butter, and mix for another 1-2 minutes.
- Use a spatula to put the butter on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Fold the paper over the top, and roll it into a tube shape. You can use a baking or cutting sheet to help pull it tight.
- Put it into the refrigerator for a couple hours, until it firms up enough to slice easily.
Notes
My favorite ways to serve herb butter is on steak, on bread, or in rice and pasta. It adds such a great rich, creamy punch to your dish! The best part about making your own flavored butter is you can choose from an infinite array of herbs and spices
