Ingredients
Butter Base
- 2 sticks butter, softened
Fruit and Nuts
- 5-8 strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
Flavorings and Garnish
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
Serving
- Whole wheat sandwich bread, for serving
Instructions
- Soften the Butter: Allow the butter to reach room temperature so it is soft but not melted, then stir it in a bowl to loosen it and make it easy to spread.
- Spread the Butter: On a small serving board, spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface. You can create a decorative swirl pattern using the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Add the Toppings: Evenly scatter the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and chopped walnuts over the butter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Drizzle honey over everything for a sweet finish.
- Serve: Present the butter board immediately alongside warm whole wheat sandwich bread slices for spreading and enjoying.
Notes
- Use softened butter, not melted, for the best texture on the butter board.
- Feel free to substitute or add other fruits, nuts, or herbs based on personal preference.
- Serve immediately to maintain freshness and presentation quality.
- Warm the bread slightly before serving for enhanced flavor and texture.
