Finnish Egg Butter Spread

Source of Recipe

From "The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook" by Lisa Steele


Recipe Introduction

"This simple Finnish recipe calls for only two key ingredients: eggs and butter, plus a pinch of salt. Think egg salad with butter instead of mayonnaise. Traditionally served on Finnish rice pastries, the creamy deliciousness spread on a piece of toast, slathered on warm homemade bread, or eaten right from the bowl with a spoon belies its basic preparation."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ ½ cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
â—¦ 3 hard-cooked eggs, cooled slightly and peeled
â—¦ Kosher salt


Recipe

Mash the butter and eggs in a small bowl with a fork until combined but still chunky. The warm egg will help to soften the butter. Season lightly with salt. Serve immediately.

Refrigerate any leftovers and use within 3 days.

Makes about 1 cup
