Maître d'Hôtel Butter is the most common form of what is called a "compound butter," which simply means that there is some sort of flavoring or seasoning ingredient added to the butter — in this case I add a bit of chopped green onion and garlic. Read more They can also be varied by replacing some of the butter with other ingredients for a slightly different flavor and texture, such as chopped cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice, chopped parsley and Lemon juice. etc... Typically Savory compound butters are served on steaks, fish or vegetables and Sweet compound butters are great on pancakes or biscuits, or even morning toast, dinner rolls. See less

How to make it
- First (and most importantly), you want to start with really soft butter. Let it sit out until it’s completely softened at room temperature; the softer the butter is, the easier it will be to incorporate your add-ins. Cut up the butter in a bowl, add a pinch of salt (optional), your herbs or other flavors, and then fold and mix it together with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly distributed.
- Next, dump the butter out onto a large piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log, wrapping it tightly and sealing the ends.
- Chill the log of butter until firm for at least 2 hours so the flavors have some time to meld together, then slice into coins to serve.
