My butter was delivered today! I’m excited to try them both. So the best way to eat this is with a baguette? How do you pair it for maximum taste?

  4. Find a brioche, if you got a bakery in your town. It’s my favorite use of butter.

    If you don’t have bakery, you can also find (french) bread receipt on youtube (brioche is pretty much hard, and need good butter, so you will have to use your butter, wich is a little bit sad), it’s not really hard to make as soon as you find baker yeast. You can spread butter when you take your bread off the oven.

    A little spoon of jam is also a great pleasure with butter on your bread.

    Camembert + butter is great too (+bread). Jam + butter (+bread). In fact put bread everywhere, have a nice meal !

  7. Congrats! My favorite way is to cut the piece of baguette, slightly toast it to be a bit crunchy on the outside, and bouncy and soft on the inside. Then, depending on the mood, I either put salted butter straight on it while it is still warm, so it can melt a bit inside, or I wait a bit til the baguette is cold again, and then I put the butter, so in my mouth I can feel the difference between fresh butter and bread separetly but together.

  9. with cold food :

    * bread + butter
    * radish + salt + bread + butter
    * sausage + bread + butter

    with warm food :

    * boiled egg + bread + butter
    * pasta + butter
    * patatoes + butter

    Cooked (butter in pan, not to warm otherwise butter become dark)

    * butter in pan add already cooked patatoes (do not move patatoes until they get a little crust, move before the crust become dark)
    * butter in pan add already cooked green bean + garlic

  11. Some good bread and really good charcuterie straight from the butcher is the way to go for me, so many childhood memories running around with my friends on our bikes with that in our backpack…. Sometimes the butcher was even nice enough to give us everything for free, good times indeed.

  15. I agree, such butter deserves good bread. You can make green butter – mix fresh parsley, garlic, chives, with butter then pop that on pasta or grilled meat or veggies. Aside from bread, With crêpes de blé noir – buckwheat, french bread or pancakes, that should be ok too. Pasta and potato.

  16. Will my carte de séjour be immediately revoked if I suggest trying it on crumpets straight out of the toaster?

    Or for the ultimate blend of cuisines, try it with some crème fraîche d’Isgny on a freshly baked scone, with some Bonne Maman jam, I like rhubarb or blackcurrant or rheine claude (greengage) or apricot or…

    And yes, I use salted butter with sweet foods because j’habite en Bretagne 😉
