Chef Chris Plemmons of Two Snooty Chefs, a gourmet specialty food company, showed us how he mixes butter with herbs to enhance his dishes.
You can make compound butters at home by whipping ingredients, like herbs or spices, into butter. The following is the recipe discussed on the show:

2. Place butter into parchment paper rolled into a cylinder - tie both ends with string
