Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup 1 stick salted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme, no stems just the leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions 

  • Place butter in a small bowl. Using a fork, whip the butter. 
  • Add the fresh herbs and black pepper. Whip the butter to combine.
  • Use immediately. Or, if preparing for later use, spoon the butter mixture onto a piece of cling wrap, or parchment paper, and roll to create a log. Seal the butter log in the cling wrap, twist the ends to seal and keep the butter fresh. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Storage:
  • Store in an airtight container (or wrapped with saran wrap), in the fridge, for up to a week.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
