Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Ensure butter is softened to room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, salt, pepper, minced garlic (if using), and lemon zest.
  3. Use an electric mixer or whisk to whip the butter mixture until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the finely chopped parsley, chives, and thyme with a spatula.
  5. Whip again briefly to ensure even distribution of the herbs in your whipped herb butter.
  6. Transfer the homemade whipped herb butter to a ramekin or roll into a log using plastic wrap.
  7. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve your creamy whipped herb butter spread on bread, melt over vegetables, or use as a finishing touch for meats.

Notes

  • Always use room-temperature butter for smooth whipping.
  • Finely chop herbs for even blending in your whipped butter recipe.
  • Roast garlic first if you prefer a milder, sweeter flavor for your flavored whipped butter.
  • Shape into logs for neat slices or pipe into rosettes for an elegant touch.
