Step 1: Butter ... Add everything to a small bowl and mix to combine. Then, add to a piece of plastic wrap, spread out, and roll to create a small log. You can also use parchment paper if you want. If you don't plan on using small fancy rounds, just cover the bowl and refrigerate. Making a 'log' just allows you to cut pretty small rounds when servings, but it isn't necessary.
Step 2: Serve ... Now, this is DECADENT and expensive; so, this is not something you cook with unless it is something special.
Step 3: If you make a log, you can cut the butter in small rounds to top your dish, which is really "pretty." This is fancy and great for entertaining, but not necessary. You can simply top a baked potato, grilled or steamed asparagus or green beans. I also love to make slow cooked scrambled eggs finished with a small spoon of the butter. Delicious over broiled cod or salmon. And my favorite is to add to fresh thin pasta (like angle hair pasta), along with a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream - really delicious.
Step 4: Expensive - Yes! But, nice for that special occasion.
