Ingredients
- 1 shallot or small onion , very finely minced OR ¼ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp fresh tarragon , minced OR ½ tsp dried tarragon
- 6 tbsp butter , softened
- 4 tbsp real mayonnaise
- Pepper
Directions
If using onion powder and dried tarragon, combine them with 2 tbsp water in a microwaveable measuring cup or small bowl. Microwave for about 6 seconds, then set aside.
Soften the butter in the microwave, stopping the oven every 5 seconds to mash and stir the butter until it is very soft but not liquid.
In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, microwave the mayonnaise for 5 seconds.
Remove mayonnaise from the microwave, and beat in the butter a teaspoonful at a time.
Stir in the onion, tarragon, and pepper.
Test the temperature; if it is not warm enough, heat it for 6 seconds at a time in the microwave, stirring each time. Do not overheat or it might separate; it should be warm not hot.
