Equipment

  • Wooden or ceramic serving board
  • Spreader or butter knife
  • Lemon zester or microplane

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt e.g., Maldon
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup microgreens
  • 2 tablespoons fig jam
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the base: Add the softened butter directly onto a serving board. Use a knife or spreader to smooth it into a thin, even layer, leaving a small margin at the edges. Swirl the surface for a decorative look.
  • Layer in flavors: Lightly scatter flaky sea salt over the butter. Grate fresh lemon zest across the top and sprinkle with microgreens to introduce a pop of freshness.
  • Finish with sweet accents: Drop spoonfuls of fig jam around the board, then drizzle honey generously across the surface for a touch of sweetness.
  • Serve and enjoy: Pair with warm baguette slices, crusty bread, or a mix of crackers for dipping and swiping.

Notes

Storage Instructions: Wrap the assembled board with plastic wrap or store leftover butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Substitutions
  • Jam Swap: Try hot pepper jelly or apricot preserves for a flavor twist.
  • Fresh Garnish: Replace microgreens with edible flowers for visual flair.
  • Sweetener Options: Maple syrup or agave nectar make great alternatives to honey.
Tips for Success:
  • Always soften the butter—cold butter won’t spread easily.
  • Don’t overcrowd the board—flavor harmony is key.
  • Use quality ingredients for the best taste and presentation.
Make Ahead: Prep your butter board up to 4 hours before guests arrive. Keep it chilled and covered, then let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving so the butter is spreadable.
