Instructions

    1.
    Allow the butter to reach room temperature until it's soft and easily pliable. Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and gently mash with a fork. Finely chop the fresh rosemary and pick the thyme leaves, discarding any tough stalks. Add the chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to the bowl with the softened butter.
    2.
    Using a fork, thoroughly mash the butter, herbs, lemon juice, zest, and salt together. Continue beating until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed to achieve the desired flavor profile.
    3.
    Scoop the flavored butter mixture from the bowl onto a square of plastic wrap or baking paper. Use your hands to mold the butter into a rough log shape. Tightly wrap the edges of the plastic wrap or paper around the butter, twisting the ends to seal securely. Transfer the wrapped butter to the refrigerator to set and firm for approximately two hours. Once chilled, slice and serve as desired.
