How to make an easy and trendy Brunch Board with Chef Kelli

When assembling these boards, you can smear your spreads on the board for a rustic look or use a piping bag with a star tip for a more elevated look.

Butters

Start by whipping softened butter then add your flavorings and toppings as follows:

  • Maple cinnamon pecan butter- maple extract or syrup, cinnamon and chopped toasted pecans, sprinkle top with flake salt and pecans for garnish
  • Roasted Garlic Rosemary- roast a head of garlic with olive oil until soft, chop fresh rosemary and mix into butter, top with flake salt and additional rosemary.
  • Orange Cranberry- combine orange zest and dried chopped dried cranberries, add some toasted walnuts for an extra twist, and garnish with candied oranges and cranberriesHerb and sea salt- chop your favorite herbs, we used chives, parsley and rosemary and mix into butter with flake salt
