Ingredients you need to make your butter board
Butter: The star of the show! And you know what, I’m glad it’s getting it’s moment right now. We are using room temperature butter to spread on a cheese board, then topped with all the below.
Honey: If you’re into sweet and savory, we did a drizzle of honey (hot honey works too!) for our board. You can make your board completely sweet, or you can omit the honey and keep it all savory.
Fresh herbs: Such as dill, basil, fresh rosemary, fresh mint
Fun toppings: edible flowers, lemon zest, black pepper and flakey salt
Other suggestions to serve: assorted cheeses, assorted spices, hot honey, orange zest, fig jam, thinly sliced garlic, roasted garlic cloves, chili flakes, toasted nuts like walnuts or pine nuts, radish, the list goes on!

How to make your butter board
Take your butter out at room temperature. When it’s soft to touch, spread your butter on a wooden cutting board, wood block, large board or even just a plate/platter with a knife.
Top with all your favorite toppings or whatever is on hand. We are using salt, pepper, lemon zest, slice dill pickles, shallots, dill and finished with edible flowers.
Serve alongside warm bread or a crusty slice of bread, and enjoy!
