I personally use this one for many different things.Fish,steak and chicken.
Take one stick of butter and let it soften to room temp.
Meanwhile,Take two cloves of garlic and either fine chop them or grate them with a microplane,
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped fine
1/4 cup basil chopped fine
3 tablespoons fresh chopped Thyme
1/4 cup chopped chives.
Take all the ingredients and mix them well.form the butter into a sausage shape in plastic wrap,Chill in the fridge so it firms back up.
Be sure to make this way ahead of time.It will give the flavors time to meld and make it much tastier. you can then slice it into little disks and put on anything from fish to garlic bread.YUMMMYY!!!

M$1 stick of real salted butter
1-tablespoon of:
Extra fine chopped fresh Italian parsley this is the common base
Then depending on what we want he makes
Garlic herbed butter
1 clove finely diced and blotted mixed into softened butter.
By blotting the garlic you avoid some nasty bitterness.
Basil (pesto) herbed butter
1-2 leves finely chopped and mixed in to softened butter
Worchestershire butter
A few sprinkles mixed into softened butter then well then chilled
Ranch Butter
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Hidden Valley powder into softened butter and chill
Zesty Italian
Sprinkle Zesty Italian powder into softened butter and chill
Lemon butter
Grate just a smidgen zest of lemon, and add just a bit and a few drops of lemon mixed into butter and mix very well. Chill immediately
Paprika butter
1/3 teaspoon fresh Hungarian paprika to 1 stick if room temp butter. Mix well, add a turn of fresh black pepper and mix again.
Chive herbed butter mix in 2 teaspoons of fresh chives finely diced.
Also remember you can use all of these with cream cheese too.
We kept these really simple because no one in our house likes fresh thyme or sage.
