Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add softened butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until fully blended. For a smoother texture, pulse the mixture in a food processor until well combined.
Form the Butter Log: Transfer the butter mixture onto plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly to secure and refrigerate until the butter becomes firm, usually about 1 hour.
Prepare as a Dip: To use as a warm dip, microwave the butter mixture in short 20-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
Storage: Keep the prepared Creole Butter tightly covered in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
Serving Suggestions: Use the Creole Butter Bliss to enhance the flavor of grilled meats, sautéed seafood, warm bread, or steamed vegetables by either slicing from the chilled log or serving melted as a dipping sauce.

Notes

For a smoother butter, use a food processor to blend all the ingredients thoroughly.
Chilling the butter log makes it easy to slice for serving on hot dishes.
This butter can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before using.
Adjust the cayenne pepper amount to taste for a milder or spicier butter.
Worcestershire sauce adds umami; substitute with soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
