Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a medium bowl and let it sit at room temperature until softened (approximately 15–20 minutes if not already softened).
Once the butter is soft, use a fork or a spatula to mash and mix it until smooth and creamy.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the butter and fold it in, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout.
Mix in the minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, finely chopped chives, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
Season the butter with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your countertop. Transfer the butter mixture onto the sheet and shape it into a log, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll the butter log tightly in the plastic wrap or parchment paper, twisting the ends to seal. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
Once chilled and firm, you can slice the butter log into discs and serve as needed. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
