Bread and butter, like tomatoes and pasta, are such a perfect pairing that we take them for granted. Not anymore!

Besides, plussed-up butter is the easiest way to elevate a special dinner, especially in summer when the gardens and markets are bursting with fresh herbs. Chives, rosemary, oregano and garlic star in this recipe but really you could go in any direction you wish—lemon zest is a wonderful addition to compound butter.
