Zesty Herb Butter Recipe Video
Ingredients
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
(Note: the herbs listed below are fresh herbs. You may substitute dry herbs in place of them, but use only 1/3 as much of the dried herbs.)
½ to 1 tablespoon curly parsley, minced (You may use flat Italian parsley, if you prefer.)
½ to 1 tablespoon chives, minced
¼ to ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
Directions
In a small mixing bowl, mix ½ cup softened butter with the desired amount of parsley, chives, and rosemary. Mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Place herb butter in a pretty serving bowl and chill. Remove your herb butter from the refrigerator and soften before serving with bread. You may spread it on a baked loaf of bread that has been cut lengthwise and place it in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. It will be crispy and gorgeous on top, but soft inside. You may also slice your loaf of bread and place the slices in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, and then spread individual pieces with herb butter, as desired. Either way, it is a real treat, and looks very nice with a special meal! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty
