Description
Creole Butter is a quick, easy-to-make compound butter that infuses rich, authentic Creole flavor into your dishes. This versatile butter can be used as a topping for breads, seafood, vegetables, and more, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, Creole seasoning, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped thyme. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Lay a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a clean surface. Scoop the Creole butter mixture onto the center of the paper/wrap and shape it into a log, about 6 inches long.
3. Wrap the log tightly in the parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
4. When ready to use, unwrap the Creole butter log and slice into rounds. Serve the Creole butter as a topping for breads, seafood, vegetables, or anything you’d like to infuse with bold Creole flavor.
Notes
– For a creamier texture, let the Creole butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
– Variation: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine to the butter mixture for extra brightness.
– Store any leftover Creole butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
