Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Place butter in a small bowl at room temperature until soft, about 1 hour; add chives and salt. Using a silicone spatula, mix until evenly combined.

  2. Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface; place butter in the middle. Lift one side of plastic and roll to slowly form a log shape. Press the sides in and continue to roll. Twist the sides up to seal.

  3. Refrigerate butter for 1 hour before using. Slice into rounds and serve over desired food.

    Cook's Note:

    Using unsalted butter allows you to control how salty the final product will be.
