Description
A delicious chive butter that’s perfect for spreading on grilled meats, fish, eggs, toast, or potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick, room temperature)
- 2–3 Tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter, chopped chives, and salt. Use a spoon or spatula until completely combined. Feel free to taste test and adjust for salt as needed (or more chives!). You can use it immediately like this, or make a log.
- Make a log: Cut a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and place it on your countertop. Place the butter in the middle of the sheet, and lift one side to slowly form a log shape. Press the sides in as needed, and then continue to roll it around until a log forms. Place in the fridge to harden, so it’s easier to cut pats of butter.
- Freezing: make a log as described above, and once it’s hard enough to cut rounds of butter, cut and place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze, then transfer to a bag for freezer storage, for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Enjoy it on grilled meats, fish, eggs or omelets, toast, potatoes, and more (see the post for additional ideas). It will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- This butter pairs well with various dishes and can enhance the flavor of your meals.
- Adjusting the salt and chive levels allows customization to your taste.
