Once the flavored butter mixture is well combined, transfer it onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape the butter into a log or any desired shape, then wrap it tightly in the parchment paper or plastic wrap.
-
Place the wrapped butter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

When ready to use, unwrap the flavored butter and slice it into rounds. Serve it on a platter alongside toasted bread, crackers, baked potatoes, grilled corn, or cooked vegetables.
-
Store any leftover flavored butter in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months. To use frozen butter, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
