JalapeƱo Butter

From steaks to a side of bread…so good.

You’d be surprised at the uses you’ll find for a spicy jalapeƱo butter. First, it’s simply delicious on steaks. Swap it in instead of herbed butter for a richĀ garlic and spice combo. It’s delicious on potatoes and other vegetables, as well, to supply some pop to their flavor. Ā And on bread? It’s simple, yet oh so good. Try it with your next loaf to pair with a hearty soup. Or give a little breakfast spice a whirl with a little jalapeƱo butter toast.

This recipe works well with other types of chili peppers, too. Want more heat? Opt for serrano peppers, which come in near double the spiciness of jalapeños. Or lower the spiciness by using an Anaheim chili or poblano instead.
