Sage is my current favorite herb to add to the browned butter. However, thyme and oregano, basil and rosemary are a close second. I haven’t tried mint, cilantro, or parsley. YUM, the hot salty butter turns the fresh herbs into crispy morsels of savory crunch. Dip a chunk of bread in, drizzle it over some green beans, or roasted vegetables, or toss with a favorite pasta. It’s browned butter what’s not to love!!!
Here are some tips on how to make browned butter.
1.Heat the butter on medium heat.
2. Use at least 2 tbsp. of butter.
3. The butter will initially foam and the the browning will start to happen.
3. As soon as you see the brown bits start to form on the bottom of the pan remove the pan from the heat and add the herbs.
4. Return the pan to the heat and continue to cook until the herbs are crispy. Take care to not burn the butter.
