Cafe de Paris Butter
Description
This recipe combines softened unsalted butter with Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, finely chopped chives, parsley, finely grated Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mixing these ingredients together creates a deeply flavored herb butter with balanced acidity, tanginess from mustard and lemon, and umami notes from Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce.
The compounded butter is shaped into a log and chilled, ready to be sliced and added atop hot dishes. It pairs well with steak, seafood, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes, adding richness and vibrant herbal accents.
Using unsalted butter allows precise control over seasoning. The recipe yields approximately 10 one-tablespoon servings. Portions can be sliced and frozen for later use, maintaining flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 200 g butter slightly softened, unsalted
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic crushed, clove

- 2 teaspoon Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- ½ teaspoon salt fine
- black pepper fresh, a few grinds
Instructions
- Add slightly softened butter to a bowl.
- Then add remaining ingredients to the butter and mix well to combine (I use a fork for this).

Notes
- Use unsalted butter to control salt levels in the final product.
- The recipe yields about 10 slices or servings, each roughly one tablespoon.
- Portions can be sliced and frozen for convenience and longer storage.
- It is also a flavorful addition to mashed potatoes, enhancing richness and herb flavor.
