Ingredients

- Fresh chive flowers for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the Butter:
Take 1/3 brick of butter and a small cube of butter. Let them soften at room temperature for easy mixing. -
Add the Broth:
Take about half a packet of your favorite sipping broth. Pour it into the butter mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined. -
Shape the Butter:
Take a small dish and line it with saran wrap. This will make it easier to remove the butter once it’s set. Pour the butter mixture into the lined dish, smoothing it out evenly. -
Add the Chive Flowers:
Gently place fresh chive flowers on top of the butter mixture. Press them lightly into the butter to ensure they stick. -
Set the Butter:
Place the dish in the freezer for a short period, just until the butter firms up. This step is particularly useful if you're short on time and need the butter to set quickly. -
Finish and Serve:
- Once the butter is firm, remove it from the freezer and carefully pop it out of the dish using the saran wrap.
- Flip it over to reveal the beautiful chive flower garnish.
- Your Tomato-Basil Chive Bloom Butter is now ready to be served. Enjoy it with freshly baked bread, spread over grilled vegetables, or melt it over hot pasta for a burst of garden-fresh flavor.
