Can you make it ahead?
You can make it up to one week ahead and store it in the fridge in an airtight container or small mason jar.
Storage instructions
If you want it to last, store it in the fridge. But it’s best served at room temperature because you want the butter to be spreadable and not very solid.
Variations and substitutes:
Feel free to use some sun-dried cherry tomatoes finely diced to substitute the pepperoni slices, or even chopped artichoke hearts will work fine too.
