Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Neutral-flavored oil (e.g., canola oil or vegetable oil)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a mixing bowl and allow it to come to room temperature until it is very soft and easily spreadable.
Once softened, add the neutral-flavored oil and olive oil to the butter. If desired, sprinkle in the salt to taste.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or butter dish.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up slightly.
When ready to use, take it out of the fridge and spread it onto your favorite bread, toast, or baked goods for a creamy and flavorful topping.
