Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the butter with olive oil. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or basil instead of thyme. If you prefer a vegetarian option, use vegetable bouillon instead of chicken bouillon. Ensure that the butter is softened but not melted to achieve the right consistency when mixing.
