The Very Best Butter Board is a luxurious, flavorful appetizer featuring creamy butter, sweet and savory toppings like honey, dried fruits, and fresh rosemary, served with crostini for dipping.

Ingredients

8 ounces high-quality butter, softened

Honey

Lemon zest

Dried tangerines

Dried peaches

Dried strawberries

Honeycomb

Coarse sea salt

Fresh rosemary

Crostini bread (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by softening the butter to room temperature if it’s not already softened.
  2. Spread the softened butter generously onto a large serving board or platter, making sure it’s an even layer.
  3. Drizzle honey over the butter, allowing it to pool in some areas and spread in others.
  4. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the butter for a citrusy kick.
  5. Add the dried tangerines, dried peaches, and dried strawberries, spreading them evenly over the butter.
  6. Place small chunks of honeycomb around the board, allowing them to sit on top of the butter.
  7. Sprinkle a little coarse sea salt over the top for a perfect balance of sweet and salty.
  8. Finally, scatter fresh rosemary sprigs over the board for a fragrant and fresh touch.
  9. Serve the butter board with crostini bread for dipping.

Notes

Experiment with different types of butter, such as unsalted or flavored butters.

Feel free to swap dried fruits with others like dried figs or cranberries.

For a more savory option, try adding garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives.

Rosemary can be swapped for thyme or basil for a different herbal touch.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Remove from the fridge 20-30 minutes before serving to bring back its creamy texture.
