# Instructions:
01 -
Use a medium-sized bowl to mix the softened butter, chives, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, both peppers, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Blend well by hand or pop it in a food processor for ease. You'll end up with roughly ⅔ cup of flavored butter.

Scoop the butter onto plastic wrap and start rolling it. Create a log by pressing and twisting the wrap around the butter. Secure the ends and let it firm up in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or leave it overnight.

Want it melted? Pop the butter mixture in the microwave and heat for 20-second bursts, stirring in between until it's fully liquefied.
04 -
Place the butter in a sealed container and keep it in your fridge for up to five days.
