If you’re wondering how to make herb butter, I have great news… It’s so easy! This recipe for easy herb butter works perfectly to serve with a variety of dishes from grilled steak to a simple piece of bread.

Recipe for Easy Herb Butter


 

How To Make Herb Butter

Making herb butter takes only a few minutes and you’ll wonder why you don’t make it more often.

Before you start, gather your ingredients and be sure to soften your butter. To soften the butter, let it sit out at room temperature for about an hour. We don’t suggest putting it in the microwave.

Lovely fresh herbs are the key to a delicious herb butter. The herbs in this recipe are totally customizable. You could also add lemon peel, garlic, shallot, sun-dried tomato, or whatever you like.

Easy Herb Butter Ingredients

Finely chop all the herbs, and add them to the softened butter. You can use kitchen shears to make this step even easier.

Stir to combine, taste, and add salt and pepper to your liking.

You can serve immediately as a softer spread or cool in the fridge if you’d like it firmer.

How To Serve Herb Butter

Herb butter is delicious on top of grilled meat or seafood. It gives a huge pop of flavor and freshness!

To make your Thanksgiving turkey even tastier, lift up the skin, and spread some of the butter underneath before roasting.

You could also stir it into hot pasta or rice, spread it on warm crusty bread, or toss it with cooked vegetables. Herb butter is also wonderful to serve with your homemade gluten-free bread. Adding it to a simple pasta or rice dish can be a smart way to save money on a meatless dinner night.

For a prettier presentation, you can form it into a log while it’s still soft, place in the refrigerator until it’s firm, and slice it into rounds.

    This recipe reminds me, my grandmother. She used to add herbs almost everywhere. Just in the proper amount. It is important. Has everyone tried potatoes with some fresh rosemary leaves?

    I have a lot of herbs in my balcony but I have never thought to use they in such a way. Fantastic. I’ll try it.

    This is how SIMPLE it is:

    2. Paste it in location B & make $20-$80 every single time… You ALWAYS keep the profit!

    ANYONE Can Do This, Even Total Noobs
    Literally anyone can pick this up, implement the same day and see Real Results of this formula working VERY FAST, without
    working hard, spending a ton of Cash!
    You’ll be successful faster than you ever though was even possible.

    Is a brand new arbitrage formula – very few people know about it and even less are actually using it.
    We focus on an overlooked area when it comes to arbitrage – and it’s pretty crazy because EVERYONE wants these services.
    Anyone that does this makes an absolute killing – and there’s no end to how many customers you can have.

    If you’ve ever tried arbitrage, you know how POWERFUL it is…
    Regular evryday people that aren’t marketers have been using it for YEARS to make a steady online income… but if you think that you know the formula we’re revealing inside THIS FORMULA – think again!
