Chive Whipped Butter

It’s just not a party these days without a generous tower of whipped butter. To take it to another level, a gorgeous green oil is made from blitzing chives with Awake Olive Oil, don’t forget to save a drizzle for finishing. Now grab a piece of crusty bread and dig in.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz chives
  • ⅓ cup Brightland Awake Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp flaky sea salt, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Add the chives and Awake olive oil to a blender. Blend until pureed. Give the blender a little shake to get it whirling if needed.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the butter and whip on medium-high speed for 4 minutes until airy, scrape down the whisk and the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula at the halfway mark. Add the chive oil (reserving a couple teaspoons for serving) and whip for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Scrape down the whisk and the bowl. Add the flaky sea salt, and whip on medium-high for 30 seconds until incorporated. The butter should be fluffy and aerated.
  3. To serve, pile the butter onto a plate and use an offset spatula to create height, swirls, and swoops. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and drizzle with the reserved chive oil. Serve with bread.
