Ingredients

¼ lb garlic herb butter
¼ lb roasted garlic butter
¼ lb jalapeno honey butter
¼ lb whipped honey butter
¼ lb strawberry butter
¼ lb chocolate butter
2 Fresh herb sprigs
3 roasted garlic cloves
3 fresh jalapeno rings
2 tablespoons honey or pieces of fresh honey comb
1 strawberry sliced
3 chocolate pieces
6 slices sourdough bread
½ loaf focaccia sliced
½ cornbread loaf sliced
6 slices seeded oat bread
6 small scones
6 slices brioche bread

Instructions

Make all six compound butters up to five days ahead and refrigerate in airtight containers or rolled logs. Use 113g (about ¼ lb) of butter per flavor for a board serving 10 to 12 people. Remove the compound butters from the refrigerator before assembly so they soften enough to spread smoothly but still hold their shape.
¼ lb garlic herb butter, ¼ lb roasted garlic butter, ¼ lb jalapeno honey butter, ¼ lb whipped honey butter, ¼ lb strawberry butter, ¼ lb chocolate butter
Mentally divide the board into six equal vertical sections left to right: garlic herb, roasted garlic, jalapeño honey, whipped honey, strawberry, chocolate. Using the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula, spread each butter into its section in a rectangle shape with gentle indents and waves in the surface.
Add the corresponding garnish to the lower left corner of each butter rectangle to signal the flavor.
2 Fresh herb sprigs , 3 roasted garlic cloves, 3 fresh jalapeno, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 strawberry, 3 chocolate
Place a small consistent pile of each paired bread below its corresponding butter section so guests can sample the full flight.
6 slices sourdough bread , ½ loaf focaccia, ½ cornbread loaf, 6 slices seeded oat bread, 6 small scones, 6 slices brioche bread
