Homemade Herbed Butter with Parsley, Thyme, and Rosemary

Storage Tips:

The herbed butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly to maintain freshness.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon fine flake salt (or adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Butter:

   • Place the softened butter in a medium mixing bowl. Ensure it's soft enough to mix easily but not melted.

2. Chop the Herbs:

   • Finely chop the fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Removing the woody stems from the thyme and rosemary ensures a smoother texture.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the chopped herbs and flake salt to the butter. Using a fork or spatula, mix everything together until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

4. Shape the Butter:

   • Transfer the herbed butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap.

   • Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends of the parchment or wrap to seal. Alternatively, you can press the butter into a small ramekin or butter mold for a decorative presentation.

5. Chill:

   • Refrigerate the herbed butter for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step allows the flavors to meld.

6. Serve:

   • Slice the butter log into rounds or scoop it from the ramekin as needed. It's perfect for spreading on bread, melting over vegetables, or topping grilled meats.

Enjoy your flavorful homemade herbed butter! 🧈✨🌿
