Ridiculously Easy Herb Compound Butter image

Bread and butter, like tomatoes and pasta, are such a perfect pairing that we take them for granted. Not anymore! An herb compound butter will wake up your taste buds and renew your appreciation for this duo. Besides, plussed-up butter is the easiest way to elevate a special dinner, especially in summer when the gardens and markets are bursting with fresh herbs. Chives, rosemary, oregano and garlic star in this recipe but really you could go in any direction you wish-lemon zest is a wonderful addition to compound butter.
