Butter Boards Recipe

Butter Boards Recipe Introduction: Butter boards have become a viral sensation, and for good reason. They’re a fun, customizable appetizer that adds flair to gatherings and appeals to any palate. Picture a smooth, creamy layer of butter adorned with fresh herbs, spices, and edible flowers, ready for dipping with artisan bread or crackers. Butter boards are easy to create and add a unique twist to traditional charcuterie. Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted, high-quality butter, softened 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for added flavor) Fresh herbs (like thyme, rosemary, and chives), finely chopped 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness) Edible flowers, petals, or microgreens for garnish Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste Artisan bread, crackers, or baguette slices for dipping Instructions: Prepare the Butter: Start by taking the butter out of the refrigerator and letting it soften to room temperature. For added flavor, mix in minced garlic. Spread on Board: Choose a cutting board or serving platter with enough space for spreading. With a spatula, spread the softened butter evenly over the board, leaving about 1/2 inch of thickness. Create texture by swirling the butter to form peaks and valleys, which help catch the toppings.
