Recipe tips
- Butter: Don’t overthink spreading the butter! There is no right way, go for it! Make sure your butter is at room temperature. If you just realized your butter is in the fridge, don’t worry! Place it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. If it’s not soft enough, add it for another few seconds. Ensure it is soft, not melted. Softened butter will be the easiest to spread on your board.
- Tomatoes and Bocconcini Balls: Set them on a paper towel once the tomatoes are sliced. Do the same when you pick out your bocconcini balls. This will allow any liquid to be absorbed before going onto the butter board.
- Balsamic: When pouring the balsamic, place a finger or thumb over the hole so that the balsamic lightly drizzle out at a controlled rate.
- Prosciutto: A whole piece of prosciutto is quite large when there is other ingredients sharing the space of the board. It’s recommended to cut or pull apart the pieces of prosciutto into smaller pieces.
