Print Recipe

A quick and elegant butter board featuring creamy unsalted butter, vibrant edible flowers, rustic sourdough bread, and a drizzle of floral honey. Perfect for brunch or entertaining, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into a beautiful and delicious centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup edible flowers (nasturtiums, pansies, violas)
  • 3 tablespoons floral honey (acacia or wildflower)
  • 1 large loaf sourdough bread, thickly sliced (about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme or chives), optional
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the butter by letting it sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes until soft but not melted.
  2. Gently rinse edible flowers under cold water, pat dry, and remove stems or unwanted leaves.
  3. Slice the sourdough loaf into thick slices about 1/2 inch thick using a sharp bread knife.
  4. Place the softened butter in the center of a wooden or slate serving board and spread into a rough circle or freeform shape, creating gentle peaks or swirls.
  5. Slowly drizzle 3 tablespoons of floral honey over the butter, allowing it to settle into the swirls and peaks.
  6. Arrange edible flowers and optional fresh herbs artfully across the butter and around the board.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the entire board.
  8. Fan the sourdough slices around the butter board or place on a separate plate for serving.
  9. Let the board sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to make the butter silky and spreadable.

Notes

Do not microwave butter to soften; instead, cut into cubes and let soften gradually at room temperature. Use fresh, pesticide-free edible flowers for best flavor and appearance. Add flowers just before serving to keep them vibrant. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with plant-based or coconut oil-based spreads. Keep butter board at room temperature before serving but refrigerate leftovers tightly covered for up to 3 days. Toast leftover sourdough before serving again.
