Preparation

  1. 1.
    Place the butter in a light-colored saucepan or skillet to easily monitor the browning process.
  2. 2.
    Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  3. 3.
    As the butter melts, it will start to foam. Continue stirring gently.
  4. 4.
    After a few minutes, the foam will subside, and the butter will begin to turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  5. 5.
    Once the butter reaches a rich golden color and releases a nutty aroma, remove it from the heat.
  6. 6.
    Pour the Beurre Noisette into a heatproof container, leaving behind any sediment at the bottom of the pan.
  7. 7.
    Let the Beurre Noisette cool slightly before using it in your desired recipe.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Butter — Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor. Avoid using salted butter as it may alter the taste of the final dish.

Tips & Tricks

  • Be attentive while browning the butter to avoid burning it.
  • Use a light-colored saucepan or skillet to easily monitor the color change.
  • If the butter starts to foam excessively, reduce the heat slightly.
  • Let the Beurre Noisette cool slightly before using it to prevent it from being too hot and potentially altering the texture of your recipe.
  • Store any leftover Beurre Noisette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Serving advice

Drizzle Beurre Noisette over roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or steamed asparagus for a delightful flavor enhancement. It can also be used as a finishing touch for pasta dishes or drizzled over pancakes or waffles for a decadent breakfast treat.

Presentation advice

Serve Beurre Noisette in a small pouring vessel or a ramekin to showcase its golden color. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for an added touch of elegance.
