🧾 Ingredients

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced

• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

🔪 Equipment

• Mixing bowl

• Fork or spatula

• Plastic wrap or parchment paper

• Knife

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Soften the Butter

Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. Leave it at room temperature for about 30–45 minutes until it’s easy to mix.

Step 2: Prepare the Herbs

Finely chop all the fresh herbs. The smaller the pieces, the more evenly the flavor will distribute throughout the butter.

Step 3: Mix Everything Together

In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, chopped herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using).

Use a fork or spatula to mash and mix everything until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Shape the Butter

Transfer the herb butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until firm. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.

Step 6: Slice & Serve

Once firm, slice into rounds and serve over hot dishes. Watch it melt into pure deliciousness!
