Butter Board

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup softened butter

  2 sticks, unsalted preferred
• 1 head garlic
• 1 lemon, zested
• 2 teaspoons flaky salt

  less if using salted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3-4 tablespoons fresh chopped herbs
• Fresh bread for serving

Instructions

• 1 Set the butter out on the counter for at least 30 minutes to soften.
• 2 While the butter is softening, remove the papery outer skins from a head of
  garlic and use a sharp knife to slice off the top ¼ to ½ inch of the cloves.
  Place on foil and drizzle with olive oil. Loosely cover foil and roast in a 400
  degree oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and soft. Let cool to handle.
• 3 Using an offset spatula or back of a spoon, spread softened butter on a small
  board, leaving at least a one inch border on all sides.
• 4 When the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze it firmly from the bottom to
  extract the cloves. Mash them with a fork to form a paste.
• 5 Spread the roasted garlic paste on top of the softened butter.
• 6 Sprinkle butter and garlic with lemon zest and flaky salt and drizzle with
  honey. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
• 7 Serve with warm bread.
