Dietary: vegetarian
Category: dessert
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup), softened Butter (substitutions: Vegan butter)
- 3 tbsp Honey (substitutions: Maple syrup (for vegan))
- 1 tsp Flaky sea salt
- 2 tbsp chopped Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)
- A few Edible flowers (optional)
- 1 loaf, sliced Crusty bread
- 1 lemon Lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
Equipment
- Large wooden cutting board or platter
- Bread knife
- Offset spatula or butter knife
Instructions
-
Step 1: Let butter come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). It should be very soft but not melted.
What to look for: Easily spreadable, leaves no hard chunks
Watch out: Cold butter won't spread; Melted butter runs off the board
-
Step 2: Spread softened butter generously over a clean wooden board or large plate.
What to look for: Even layer about 1/4 inch thick covering most of the surface
Watch out: Clean board thoroughly first; Don't go too thin - it's meant to be generous
-
Step 3: Drizzle honey in a zigzag pattern. Sprinkle sea salt, herbs, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
What to look for: Beautiful scattered toppings with variety of colors
Watch out: Add toppings in sections for visual appeal; Don't over-salt - flaky salt is strong
-
Step 4: Arrange sliced bread around the board. Serve immediately at room temperature.
What to look for: Inviting communal board with bread for dipping/spreading
Watch out: Serve promptly - butter softens more over time; Toast bread slightly for better texture contrast
