In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a lovely and tasty Herb Butter. You can use it on fresh bread, or bread that is hot out of the oven, or on toasted bread. You can also spread it on French Bread, Italian Bread, and other specialty breads, and heat it in the oven. It is showy and delicious!
Ingredients:
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
(Note: the herbs listed below are fresh herbs. You may substitute dry herbs in place of them, but use only 1/3 as much of the dried herbs.)
½ to 1 tablespoon curly parsley, minced (You may use flat Italian parsley, if you prefer.)
½ to 1 tablespoon chives, minced
¼ to ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
In a small mixing bowl, mix ½ cup softened butter with the desired amount of parsley, chives, and rosemary. Mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Place herb butter in a pretty serving bowl and chill. Remove your herb butter from the refrigerator and soften before serving with bread. You may spread it on a baked loaf of bread that has been cut lengthwise and place it in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. It will be crispy and gorgeous on top, but soft inside. You may also slice your loaf of bread and place the slices in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, and then spread individual pieces with herb butter, as desired. Either way, it is a real treat, and looks very nice with a special meal! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty
