Brie Butter — the dreamiest spread. I’m a total butter lover, and this version combines two of my favorites: creamy butter and soft brie. It’s simple to make, beautifully silky, and elevates any bread or cracker you pair it with.

Why You’ll Love Brie Butter
This brie butter is incredibly creamy and flavorful while staying easy and quick to prepare. It’s a show-stopping upgrade for bread, biscuits, or breakfast pastries. A sprinkle of flaky salt adds a delightful crunch, and a touch of lavender brings a subtle floral note that pairs beautifully with honey.
How To Prepare Brie Butter
1. Place room-temperature butter and brie (rind removed) in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip them together for about 1 minute, until smooth and fully combined.
2. Add the heavy cream and whip briefly until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Spread the whipped brie butter onto a plate or serving dish and drizzle generously with honey.
4. Finish with lavender flowers and flaky salt crystals to taste.
5. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread or your favorite crackers.
Substitutions and Variations
- If you don’t have lavender, try finely chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an herb-forward twist.
- For a spicy-sweet variation, top the butter with salsa macha or a drizzle of chili oil for heat and texture.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Experiment with toppings — lavender is lovely, but nuts, seeds, or a pinch of citrus zest also work well.

Common Questions
I use a full-fat heavy whipping cream for the best texture and richness.
Use a mild, runny honey so it spreads easily and complements the brie without overpowering it. Local or wildflower honey both work well.
Choose a flaky sea salt for texture and a clean finish.
