Herbed Butter

Herbed Butters are so great to keep on hand.  You can slice a piece of herbed butter on top of a juicy steak, add a slice to mashed potatoes, or put it atop your baked potato.  I've listed a few of my favorites below:

Herbed Butters

1 stick real, salted butter (softened to room temperature)

It will take 1 stick of butter for each log of herbed butter you make.

1.  Italian Herbed Butter:  Add 1 tsp. Italian Seasonings

2.  Pesto Herbed Butter:  Add 1 tsp. quality Pesto

3.  Dill Herbed Butter:  Add 1 Tbsp. Dill Weed

4.  Spicy Herbed Butter:  Add 1/2 tsp. Cayenne and 2 drops hot sauce

5.  Garden Veggie Herbed Butter:  For this one, I use 2 sticks of butter at room temperature,  add 1/2

     tsp. Oregano, 1/2 tsp. Basil and 1 finely chopped green onion.

Choose whatever spices you want and mix into the butter.  Place butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log.  Roll into the plastic wrap, sealing the edges.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Slice as needed.
