Recipe 🍳

  1. Thinly slice the unsalted butter into even thicknesses.
  2. Sprinkle edible flowers, chopped chervil and thyme, and black pepper evenly over the butter slices.
  3. Stack the butter slices again, wrap with parchment paper, press, and chill for 30 minutes.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To slice the butter without it breaking, briefly dip the knife in warm water, wipe it dry, and then cut.
  • Press the parchment paper tightly around the stacked butter to ensure the layers hold together when sliced, preventing them from falling apart.
  • Edible flowers are primarily for visual appeal; feel free to substitute with other herbs or spices of your choice for different colors and flavors.
