Whipped Chive-Rosemary-Sage Butter
Fresh green herbs and garlic are whipped into a super-flavorful butter. Serve over warm, toasted breads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
- 1 heaping teaspoon fresh sage leaves, finely minced, see Notes
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic, grated on a zester
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, if unsalted butter is used
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Whip the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a hand-held mixer, on medium until light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your mixer.
- Add the minced herbs, garlic, pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter), and pepper.
- Whip on medium speed until all ingredients are combined and the butter is light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.
- Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- If your butter has been refrigerated and firmed-up, remove from the refrigerator about an hour before serving.
Notes
It is not necessary, but I suggest mincing the sage leaves right before you add them to the butter. The fine pieces will begin to oxide and darken if left to sit too long. You really want these green herbs to stay bright green.
