Notes

Things to think about with this recipe:

Herbs: Not all of us like the same herbs, so if you are struggling with the thought of adding rosemary or basil to this truffle butter, don't worry we have have a solution!

-Basil: substitute with oregano. Instead of using 2 teaspoons of oregano already called for in the recipe, use three teaspoons (or 1 tablespoon) of oregano.

-Rosemary: Use fresh thyme instead.

-Oregano: substitute with fresh thyme or basil.

Vegan options: I recommend using a vegan butter instead of cows milk butter, or even a good quality coconut oil for this recipe. I have not tried the coconut oil, but vegan butter will often stand up to recipe conversions like this. If you try this recipe with coconut oil, please drop a note and let us know how it went.
