Cheese Butter II

Place the butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until the butter is fluffy and the seasonings are incorporated.

Add the Cheese and lemon juice and mix on medium-low speed until everything is incorporated.

Scoop the butter mixture onto a piece of waxed paper. Form it into a log shape and roll up in the waxed paper. Twist the ends to seal it.

Place the butter in the refrigerator until it is firm.

To use, slice off pieces as desired.

cook's notes

Only use freshly shredded Cheddar (not the pre-shredded kind - it contains starch that will prevent it from mixing with the butter properly).
