Whipped Brie Butter
The compound butter mixture you never knew you needed- BRIE BUTTER. If you like bread, butter & cheese then this is the recipe for you. Its a simple appetizer that is easy to whip up (literally)!
When hosting you want to serve something with a WOW factor that easy to make. This might look like regular butter but when your guests try it they will be blown away by the flavor. When brie & butter are whipped together they become light, creamy and smooth making it the perfect addition to a warm baguette, sourdough, mash potatoes, steak, the options are ENDLESS of what you can put this on.
Normally, I would use an unsalted butter for a compound butter with cheese, however, brie does not have high salt content and needs the extra salted buttery boost to make it that much more flavorful!

You can make this ahead of time and store in your fridge for up to 3 days. It tastes best at room temperature so when you plan to serve it make sure to take it out of the fridge in advance.
