This recipe transports you to a cozy restaurant surrounded by good company (and good wine, of course).

Compound Butter Trio (radish, strawberry-rhubarb, and ramp)

Let’s be honest… We mainly go to restaurants for the free bread and butter. Making homemade compound butter at home allows you to explore different flavors and still provide your guests with a restaurant-level experience. This trio of butters provides savory, earthy, and sweet flavor profiles that will keep your guests satisfied and coming back for more. Make sure to buy lots of baguettes! :)
