• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Allow the reduced-fat unsalted butter to reach room temperature by leaving it out for about 10-15 minutes; it should be soft and pliable but not melted.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh parsley, fresh chives, fresh thyme, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Add lemon zest, salt, and black pepper; mix until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the butter.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

Step 6

Form the butter into a log shape, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Wrap it tightly and store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and for the butter to firm up.

Step 8

Slice into discs before serving or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
