I’m a huge fan of foods served on boards. That includes everything and anything from your typical charcuterie boards to more creative mini meal boards — like a baked potato board or a buffalo wing board complete with chicken wings and crudités.
Most recently, I tried my hand at making a butter board. The food trend calls for sticks of softened butter that’s slathered onto a wooden cheese board. It’s then seasoned with a myriad of toppings (sweet and savory, whatever your heart desires) and served alongside toasted pieces of bread. In the same vein as charcuterie boards, butter boards are meant to be a table showstopper. Mine turned out to be the antithesis of that but regardless, the whole process of assembling smeared butter and then eating it was oddly…cathartic and whimsical.
