Ingredients
- 1lb unsalted buttergood, softened
- 4-6 chive blossomswashed, dried, separated
- 2tb chive leaveswashed, dried, chopped
- 1pinch Kosher salt
Instructions
- Place butter in bowl, stir in chive blossoms, chopped chives and salt.
- Spread butter mix into small serving dish or molds, or roll into log in parchment paper. If you use a crock or bowl that is a little deeper, you can use a melon baller to make individual portions, or a deep spoon to make lovely butter rochers.
- Seal finished butter in plastic wrap to keep it fresh, chill for several hours or more until set.
- Optional: just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of finishing salt over the butter. If you have additional chive blossoms or leaves, you can use them to garnish the butter.
Recipe Notes
Store in refrigerator, use in 7 days. Can be frozen.
To make this dairy-free, use a vegan spread. You can also substitute avocado for the butter: use 2 avocados and 3-4 chive blossoms. It is different, of course, but equally delicious.
