Butter makes everything better—but flavored butter? That’s next-level delicious. If you haven’t tried homemade flavored butter yet, you’re in for a real treat. Today’s post is all about creating rich, flavorful butter that’s perfect for spreading on bread, roasting veggies and so much more. Just look at all that flavor!

Flavored butter is one of my favorite kitchen staples, it’s simple to make, endlessly versatile, and adds a burst of flavor to just about anything. Whether I’m spreading it on warm bread, melting it over roasted vegetables, or using it to finish a juicy steak, it always feels like a little upgrade with very little effort. The best part? You can whip up a batch in minutes using everyday ingredients you likely already have on hand, like fresh herbs, garlic, blue cheese, or cinnamon and honey. Once you try it, plain butter just won’t taste the same.

I love topping green beans and steak with blue cheese or herb butter for an instant upgrade. Give your Thanksgiving mashed potatoes a tasty twist with parmesan garlic butter—and don’t forget to serve extra butter at the table for spreading and dipping! Sweet options like brown sugar cinnamon butter or honey butter are delicious on warm, homemade bread and make a cozy substitute for syrup on toast or waffles. The best part? Flavored butters are simple, affordable, and endlessly customizable—an easy way to elevate your holiday meals and everyday favorites.

Speaking of the holidays, flavored butter is perfect for gift-giving. A jar of flavored butter and a loaf of homemade bread are meaningful gifts anyone would love to receive.

Let's Get Started

Use softened room-temperature butter.

Finely chop the herbs this will easily distribute the herbs throughout the butter.

If you don't have fresh herbs you can certainly use dried herbs. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of fresh herbs, If you are using dried herbs use 4 tablespoons of herbs total.

If you are using unsalted butter add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Store flavored butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four weeks.

Can you freeze flavored butter? Yes, you can freeze flavored butter. Place the butter in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container for up to nine months. When freezing sticks of butter keep them in the original carton and place them inside a freezer bag. I strongly recommend freezing butter in the original packaging so you have the sell-by date. To thaw frozen butter place it in the fridge overnight or for eight hours.

Blue Cheese Butter Recipe
