½ tsp flaky sea salt
Optional: 1 small clove roasted garlic
Optional: ¼ tsp lemon zest
Optional: Pinch of cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Let the butter soften at room temperature for 30 minutes.

4. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until well incorporated.
5. Spoon mixture onto parchment paper, roll into a log, and twist ends.
