How to Make All Purpose Herbed Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions, 1 clove minced garlic (optional), 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  3. Place a sheet of wax paper on a clean surface. Shape the herbed butter mixture into a log (approximately 8 inches long).
  4. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again in a second layer of plastic wrap for extra security.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Alternatively, freeze for longer storage.
  6. To use, simply slice off as much as needed. Rewrap and store the remaining butter in the refrigerator (up to 2 weeks) or freezer (up to 3 months).
