These Butter Board Ideas Are Easy As Pie

It’s butter smeared on a fancy chopping board – what’s not to love?

From Gigi Hadid’s vodka pasta to the baked feta pasta hack that pretty much broke the internet, just when you thought TikTok recipes couldn’t get any simpler (or scrumptious) FoodTok has blessed us with the butter board.

What exactly is a butter board?

If your for you page is yet to be graced by #butterboard deliciousness, think of her as the grazing board's edgier sister. Unlike grazing, who can be a little precious and OTT with fancy cheese and charcuterie, butter has this chill, minimalistic vibe about her; she’s effortlessly chic but full of flavour… Essentially, it’s a fancy serveware smeared with butter, but what’s not to love? The best thing about the butter board is that she’s about to make hosting a whole lot easier. Here are the butter boards to try this festive season.

The Savoury Butter Board

Lazy chefs listen up, we’re about to teach you the easiest garlic bread hack. To put together this butter board, all you need is butter, a board (one you’d typically save for special occasions – think Georg Jensen), a few of your favourite ingredients and bread to serve. Smear your butter over the board and top with chopped garlic you’ve just fried up in a pan; that’s literally it. Feeling a little fancy? Drizzle with honey and add a dash of chilli. Use any bread you desire to help scoop up that buttery garlicky goodness.

Butter Boards For The Sweet Tooth

After something on the sweeter side to serve after dinner (or instead of – there’s no judgement here)? It’s the apple pie inspired butter board for you. First, you need to make brown butter which is simpler than it sounds; all you need is to melt brown sugar and butter together, and whip it over ice. Spread that fluffy butter softness over your board, add chopped green apple that has been lightly tossed in cinnamon, top with maple syrup and viola! If you’re feeling a little nostalgic, you can even reinvent a classic by creating a fairy bread butter board; just add hundreds and thousands to plain butter to unlock your inner millennial.
