What is a butter board used for?

It’s used as a shared appetizer where guests scoop butter and toppings with bread.

Let butter sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes. Or microwave for 10 seconds.

Guests scoop and spread it on bread, crackers, or veggies.

They’re indulgent, but toppings like nuts and herbs balance them.

They’re fun, customizable, and visually striking for TikTok or Instagram.
