How to Make TikTok Butter Board

1. 1

   Step 1: Soften and flavor the butter

   Let the butter come to room temperature until easily spreadable, about 20–30 minutes or speed up by cutting into cubes. Stir or lightly whip the butter with the lemon zest until smooth and a bit fluffy to lift the flavor—avoid overworking so it stays glossy and spreadable.

   For this step

   • 8 ozUnsalted butter, room temperature
   • 1 lemon (zest)Lemon zest
   
2. 2

   Step 2: Prep the toast and herbs

   Slice the baguette and brush each slice lightly with the olive oil, then toast in a 375°F (190°C) oven or in a skillet until golden and crisp. Finely chop the chives and set aside for sprinkling—this keeps their flavor bright when served.

   For this step

   • 2 tbspFresh chives, finely chopped
   • 1 small baguette (about 10 slices)Crusty baguette, sliced
   • 1 tbspExtra-virgin olive oil
   
3. 3

   Step 3: Assemble the butter board

   On a clean wooden board or platter, use a spatula or back of a spoon to smear the butter into an even layer with some texture for toppings to cling to. Scatter flaky sea salt, everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika, chopped chives, and a crack of black pepper over the butter, then finish with a light drizzle of honey and a few drops of olive oil for shine and balance.

   For this step

   • 1 tspFlaky sea salt
   • 2 tbspHoney
   • 1 tbspEverything bagel seasoning
   • 1 tspSmoked paprika
   • 1/2 tspFreshly cracked black pepper

   Step 4: Serve and enjoy

   Arrange the toasted bread alongside the board and invite guests to spread the butter onto the toasts using a knife. Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—bring back to room temperature before serving and refresh toppings as needed.
