How to Make Garlic Cheese Herb Butter

In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Blend until completely smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll tightly into a log shape.
Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to seal the butter log securely.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
Once chilled, slice the butter into discs and serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
