Ingredients

• 200 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 50 g English Cheddar, finely grated
• 50 g Stilton cheese, crumbled
• 50 g French Brie, rind removed and chopped
• 50 g Roquefort cheese, crumbled
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp Cracked black pepper
• 1 tsp Honey (optional, for Brie butter)
• 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for seasoning)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the softened butter by dividing it into 4 equal portions of 50 g each. Place each portion into a separate mixing bowl.

Step 2

For the Cheddar Butter: Add the finely grated English Cheddar and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley to the first bowl. Stir well until fully combined, forming a uniform mixture.

Step 3

For the Stilton Butter: Add the crumbled Stilton cheese and 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper to the second bowl. Mix until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

For the Brie Butter: Add the chopped Brie (with the rind removed) to the third bowl. For a touch of sweetness, mix in 1 teaspoon of honey if desired. Combine until smooth.

Step 5

For the Roquefort Butter: Add the crumbled Roquefort and 2 teaspoons of thyme leaves to the fourth bowl. Stir thoroughly to blend.

Step 6

Taste each butter mixture and add a pinch of sea salt if needed, depending on the saltiness of the specific cheese being used.

Step 7

Transfer each butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, rolling each into a tight log shape. Twist the ends of the parchment to seal.

Step 8

Chill the butter logs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butters to harden.

Step 9

Slice and serve as desired, or keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. These butters also freeze well for up to 3 months.
