Herbed Butter Trio


As I am sitting here typing this post, my mouth is completely watering just staring at this picture...  These butters are THAT good!  It's no secret that I am obsessed with this butter.  However, my adorable and incredibly talented sister was having dinner with us on steak night one night when she mentioned that she wasn't the hugest fan of rosemary (strange, I know!)  Thus, the Herbed Butter Trio was born!  Three mouth-watering butters, each with very unique (and very delicious) flavors!  This is great if you are having guests over for dinner but you aren't sure exactly what each person likes... Plus the presentation of the butters is super fun!  Did I mention it takes about 5 minutes from start to finish to create this entire platter?  Definitely one of those dishes that looks like it took you hours to prepare!  (I won't tell if you won't!)

Oh, but these butters aren't just scrumptious on steaks.  Bread, of course, is another perfect compliment to these tasty morsels (just don't be like me and eat it by the spoonful, ahem...)  For double yumminess, spread Herbed Butter Trio butters on a fresh loaf of Crock Pot Bread!  Yummmm!!!
