Ingredients
✓ Unsalted Butter – quantity as desired (typically 1/2 cup or 1 stick for most recipes)
✓ Fresh Thyme or Sage Leaves
✓ Cinnamon or Nutmeg
✓ Minced Garlic
✓ Plant-based butter – for vegan brown butter alternative
✓ Toasted Walnuts or Pecans
Instructions
✓ Place unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
✓ Allow the butter to melt slowly, stirring occasionally until it begins to foam.
✓ Cook for 5-7 minutes or until small milk solids at the bottom of the pan start to turn golden brown.
✓ Add fresh thyme or sage leaves and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
✓ Remove from heat immediately after adding the herbs. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, heatproof bowl.
✓ For spiced brown butter, stir in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg during the last 30 seconds of cooking before straining.
Notes
Ensure the butter is at room temperature before starting. Strain thoroughly to avoid gritty texture in the final product.
