Ingredients

2 sticks salted butter
2 tbsp. parsley
2 tsp. basil
2 tsp. tarragon
2 tsp. chives

Instructions

Chop chives. Add chives and dried herbs to butter and mix thoroughly in a stand mixer.
Pack into a container with a tight lid; refrigerate overnight for flavor to develop.

Notes

Dried herbs are crushed, which releases flavor; for this reason, they are more potent than fresh herbs. Don't overlook them!
Use salted butter for flavor; if you have unsalted, add salt to your preference.
Let the butter develop its flavor in the refrigerator overnight.
Butter, when serving, should be at room temperature for easy spreading.
