Butter has to be one of the most amazing foods around and it took me a while to catch onto this, but you can easily add extra flavours to it! A compound butter is a butter with extra ingredients added to it and this roasted garlic and porcini mushroom goat cheese butter is my current favourite! I really can’t get enough roasted garlic and you combine them with dried porcini mushrooms, a flavour/umami powerhouse, and cheese, goat cheese none the less, and you have a butter that is simply divine! This roasted garlic and porcini mushroom goat cheese butter is so easy to make and you can use it on so many different things! Steak is my number one way to enjoy this butter as all of the flavours just go so well together. In addition to using it yourself, it makes for a great gift, especially for dad this Fathers Day!

Oh my goodness that looks amazing Kevin!
This sounds delicious on steak, I don’t have fresh thyme right now, could I use fresh rosemary. I enjoy your recipes. Thank you.
Rosemary would also be nice! Enjoy!
