Spreadable Butter

Spreadable Butter

This one's so easy!  I've been buying an expensive spread that's "healthy," but there's not much that's better than butter.  However, I like the convenience of being able to spread my spread right out of the refrigerator.  I don't like leaving my butter on the counter.  

I reused my old spread container and made my new spread a little "thick" -- I didn't want to be able to taste the oil I added to my butter.  If a slightly more spreadable spread is desired, just add another 1/2 tablespoon or so of the oil.

Spreadable Butter
Makes almost a cup

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, whip 3/4 cup room temperature butter.  Gradually add in 2 tablespoons of lightly flavored olive oil.  Spoon into a container with a lid.  Cover and refrigerate.

Use as desired in place of butter or other spreads.

Enjoy!
