Making compound butter with a food processor
Use a food processor and pulse all ingredients until loosely combined. Use immediately or store for later.
To form a compound butter log shape
To form a log shape to refrigerate or freeze for later, set a piece of plastic wrap, about the size of a sheet of paper, on a flat surface. Spoon herb and garlic butter into the center in the shape of a log. Roll the left and right edges in, like a burrito, then roll the compound butter log to completely wrap it in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes to set the shape. Slice into round discs and serve on steaks, side dishes like vegetables or potatoes, or bread dinner rolls.

Notes
To soften butter fast: Add hot water to a bowl and wait 30 seconds. Dump out water and add butter. Do this even faster by dicing butter before adding it to the hot bowl.
What shapes do you form butter into? Outside of the butter log mentioned in this recipe, you can form oval discs by hand or use small glass dishes to form perfect circles.
How do you store compound butter in the freezer? Right in the plastic wrap, take out to thaw before using. Or freeze in slices to use one slice at a time. It will melt faster if thawed.
How do you add spice to garlic herb butter? Mix in a little diced chipotle in adobo sauce, jalapeno, chili powder, or hot sauce.
