Shallot Thyme Butter

Makes about ½ cup

This recipe was created specifically for our Lorraine Scones but is also delicious on a steak or burger. If using on a protein such as a steak, we suggest using a full shallot. If using on something more delicate such as a scone, then half a shallot will suffice.

Ingredients

  • ½to 1shallot, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8tablespoons (1 stick) good-quality unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces, roomtemperature
  • 1teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • pinch kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Insert the metal chopping blade in the work bowl. With the unit running, add the shallot pieces through the feed tube. Process until finely chopped.
  2. Add the butter and thyme. Process until fully combined, about 30 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary. Carefully remove the butter from bowl and place on a sheet of waxed paper. With the aid of the paper, form the butter into a log. Roll and wrap well in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator, or freeze for longer storage.
