EASY, QUICK, and GREAT. Everyone that's tried it loves it! Just make sure you use PLENTY of parchment paper. Also LOVE AB's trick of using a sheet plan to help compress the butter into a log.

Excellent...easiest most tasty sauce I think I've ever made. I serve it with pan seared pork paillards.

Actually this is a compound butter. Compound butter is any butter that has something added to it. The term "herb butter" is used interchangeably with the term compound butter. Matire d'Hotel butter is just another recipe for a compound butter and is quite delicious, lemon and chopped parsley.

Alton
Love the show, love Iron Chef as well. The recipe looks great. I do, however, think that people need to understand the difference between a compound butter and an herb / maitre d'hotel butter, of which the recipe you give here is the latter. A compound butter will have many more ingredients, including, in many cases. liquor, binding agents, spices, etc.

Its amazing the way that you can vary the ingredients and come up with some spectacular add ons. My family loves a compound butter with garlic, parsley and onions on steaks.

I've used this this spread on fish, as a spread on garlic bread, on popcorn, on artichokes, on seafood, and many other things... you can just use different ingredients to make tons of different flavors for anything... Will it take butter? Why not add some other herb flavors? And it's totally EASY, especially if you have an upright mixer.

This recipe was great because I was able to use it in so many recipes. It was good on hot pasta, bread and even corn. It's so easy to just take it out of the fridge and slice what you need.

I keep herb butter in the fridge all the time. I've never added olive oil but it certainly added a great flavor. Also, I've never used the mixer but it made the butter light and oh-so-spreadable! Thanks Alton for making the case for butter. It's so much better than the so-called "healthy margarines." Love the show.
