Imagine a beautifully arranged butter board, where creamy, artisanal butter is spread generously across a wooden board, adorned with a variety of delectable toppings. You can create a savoury board with flavours like roasted garlic, chopped fresh herbs, flaky sea salt, and cracked black pepper. For a sweet twist, consider adding a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or fresh berries. The possibilities are endless, and each combination offers a unique taste experience.
Pair your butter board with an assortment of freshly baked bread – think crusty baguettes, soft rolls, or even rustic sourdough. The contrast between the warm, toasted bread and the smooth, flavourful butter is simply irresistible. For an extra touch of elegance, scatter some edible flowers or microgreens on top, adding a burst of colour and a delicate, floral note.
