Ingredients

2 sticks salted butter 1 cup room temperature
3 garlic cloves grated or minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a dish and blend together until combined and smooth. Taste and add salt if desired.
Transfer the butter mixture to a sheet of parchment paper, shape into a log and roll in the parchment paper. Label the log and refrigerate.
To use, unwrap and slice off as much as desired, then rewrap the remaining log.

Notes

Use a good quality of butter.
Additional choices for the herbs: oregano, parsley, chives, basil, cilantro or sage.
Store in the refrigerator for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
If you use unsalted butter, you may want to add a pinch of salt to the mix.
You can use roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic for a milder garlic flavor that will let the herbs shine.
