Instructions
- Soften the Butter: Allow the butter to come to room temperature but do not melt it. Then place it in a bowl and stir to loosen it, making it easy to spread.
- Spread the Butter: Using a knife or spatula, spread the softened butter evenly over a small serving board. You can create an artistic swirl pattern to enhance the presentation.
- Add Fruit and Nuts: Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and chopped walnuts on top of the butter spread. Distribute them evenly for both flavor and visual appeal.
- Garnish and Drizzle: Sprinkle fresh mint leaves over the board, followed by flaky sea salt. Finally, drizzle honey over everything to add a touch of sweetness.
- Serve: Serve immediately with warm whole wheat sandwich bread for scooping and enjoying this luscious butter board.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened and not melted for the best spreadable texture.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries and blueberries for optimal flavor.
- Chopped walnuts add a crunchy texture; you may substitute with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a plant-based spread and honey with maple syrup.
- Serve immediately to prevent the butter from melting or the fruits from becoming soggy.
