Place chives and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a food processor and process until smooth. Place butter in a medium bowl and stir until smooth.

Transfer chive butter to a sheet of parchment paper in dolops horizontally in a line across the middle of the parchment.

Tips
You can make herbed butters out of almost any herb. Add or delete the lemon juice to taste. Herb butters are wonderful to have on hand and can be used as a delicious flavor boost to practically anything savory. Try them in eggs, bisquits, on meat, poultry or fish, pastas and more.
