Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 2 teaspoons fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley, dill, or chives)
Instructions
Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it becomes soft but not melted.
In a mixing bowl, use a fork or an electric mixer to whip the softened butter until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the olive oil to the whipped butter, mixing continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth. The olive oil helps create a creamier, more spreadable consistency.
Stir in the salt. If you want a touch of sweetness, add the honey at this stage and mix thoroughly.
If using fresh herbs, finely chop them and fold them into the butter spread. Ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout.
Transfer the butter spread into an airtight container or a small serving dish. Smooth the surface with a spatula for a polished appearance.
Refrigerate the butter spread for at least 15 minutes to firm it up before serving. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
