FRESH THYME BUTTER

Fresh Thyme Butter

If you've never made a compound butter, this is the right one to start with!  So easy, so fast, so simple and so good!  You'll be asking yourself why you haven't been making this for years!

​Compound butter is exactly what you think it might be.  Start with a good quality butter, softened to room temperature. Add your favorite herbs and spices - in this case fresh thyme, but you can also use dried thyme in a pinch.  Blend it up good, chill it for several hours, and BAM!  You've got yourself some of the best flavored butter you've ever had in your life!

​We love this for grilling cheese sandwiches, or try it on your next batch of hot and melted cheesy bread. It's equally as wonderful slathered on top of a baked potato, or for something extra special, drop a spoonful on top of a grilled salmon fillet, hot burger or steak as soon as you take it off from the grill.  You'll be AMAZED at how it turns something ordinary into something extraordinary!

French Onion (or Caramelized Onions) are fabulous all by themselves…but add some Gruyere and Provolone cheese and grill it up golden on thick slices of sourdough or artesian bread spread with Fresh Thyme Butter?   And Fresh Thyme Butter on top of a juicy grilled steak?   To.Die.For!
 
INGREDIENTS:

THYME BUTTER:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (dried thyme works in a pinch)
Pinch of kosher salt
 
HOW I MAKE THIS:
In a small bowl, blend all ingredients; cover and keep at room temperature - the thyme flavor will infuse the butter while it sits.  Cover and refrigerate any leftover.
 
YIELD:  ½ 1/2 cup
